Over the next 20 years, FCA’s goal is to support, accelerate, and enable the modernization of 10,000 miles of water delivery systems in the Western United States for the benefit of agriculture, environment, and community. To do this work, we need your help!

We work with people from a broad set of disciplines to support irrigation modernization efforts. Do you have expertise in water infrastructure? Maybe you’re developing a new method to measure farm production. Or maybe you’re excited about applying water quality data in a new way. We’d love to hear from you about your work, your outcomes, and where you see opportunities to partner. Reach out to us at info@fcasolutions.org with the Subject: Move the Needle

In addition, our growing team of over 30 strategy consultants, irrigation advisors, technical professionals, and public policy experts believe that everyone can win – farmers, rivers, and communities. If you’re passionate about achieving benefits for both environment and agriculture, we want to hear from you. If a posted opening doesn’t quite fit your skillset and you believe joining our team will make you excited to come to work every day, please send your resume to info@fcasolutions.org with the Subject: General Inquiry

We help irrigation districts, ditch companies, and agricultural producers to develop resilient water and energy infrastructure projects at scale, and the Funding Specialist will play a central role in ensuring that these projects move from concepts to construction. They will work in partnership with FCA’s leadership and project teams to identify potential funding opportunities, build relationships with funding partners, and develop funding strategies that accelerate on-the-ground, agricultural water and energy infrastructure projects. They will also support the development of funding applications that tell compelling stories about these projects and their outcomes.
