Are you ready to shape the future of emergency preparedness across California?

The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) is looking for a dynamic, mission-driven Emergency Services Coordinator (ESC) to join our team in the Emergency Support Functions Planning Unit (EFPU). In this key planning role, you won't just study state plans—you will lead them. From authoring vital state guidance on public health and extreme temperature planning to serving as the primary liaison between state, federal, tribal, and local partners, your work will directly protect California communities when it matters most.

The Emergency Support Functions Planning Unit (EFPU) collaborates with federal, state, tribal, local, and whole-community partners to develop and maintain key statewide emergency plans, annexes, and policy guidance—including the California State Emergency Plan (SEP), California Emergency Support Functions (CA-ESFs), public health and medical, mass care, education, animal/agricultural planning, and state Administrative Orders.

Under the general direction of the Program Manager I, the Emergency Services Coordinator (ESC) works with minimal oversight to lead complex, sensitive emergency planning projects and support Planning Division goals. Key responsibilities include serving as a subject matter expert, facilitating interagency coordination, drafting and reviewing technical work products, analyzing legislation, mentoring staff, delivering formal presentations, and building/participating in exercises.

If you are a collaborative project lead who thrives on driving complex initiatives, facilitating statewide work groups, and turning policy into actionable disaster response strategies, we want you on our team. Step into a role where your expertise builds a safer, more resilient California for all!
