Ready to Lead When It Matters Most?

At the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), our mission is bigger than responding to emergencies; we help California prepare for what’s next.

We’re looking for an accomplished executive leader to join the California Specialized Training Institute (CSTI) as Deputy Superintendent. This is an opportunity to shape the future of emergency management and public safety training across California and make a direct impact on the people and communities who depend on it.

About CSTI

The California Specialized Training Institute is a critical component of Cal OES that operates year-round from our main campus in San Luis Obispo, Cal OES headquarters in Sacramento, and training sites across the state. We deliver over 150 specialized courses covering emergency management, hazardous materials, exercise development, fire and rescue, criminal justice, disaster recovery, and crisis communications - equipping first responders and emergency personnel with the skills they need when every second counts.

As Deputy Superintendent, you’ll serve as a key executive leader in one of California’s most critical public safety training organizations.

Working under the administrative direction of the Assistant Director and Superintendent, you will provide strategic leadership for the statewide development, implementation, evaluation, and oversight of CSTI’s emergency management and public safety training programs and provide high-level oversight of CSTI campus daily operations in San Luis Obispo.

You will help shape priorities, solve complex challenges, and ensure California’s training programs evolve alongside emerging threats and the changing needs of communities across the state.

What You’ll Lead

In this high-impact role, you will:

  • Provide executive leadership and strategic direction across CSTI programs and operations.
  • Shape statewide training strategies for emergency management, homeland security, hazardous materials, fire and rescue, disaster preparedness, response, and recovery.
  • Advise Cal OES executive leadership on complex policy, fiscal, operational, program, and training matters.
  • Lead and develop a diverse workforce through subordinate managers, fostering accountability, collaboration, and innovation.
  • Manage daily campus operations on the San Luis Obispo campus.
  • Oversee statewide coordination of FEMA and other federally supported training activities in California.
  • Ensure programs meet applicable state and federal regulations, certification and accreditation standards, and credentialing requirements.
  • Strengthen partnerships across government, public safety, emergency management, and other organizations.
  • Anticipate emerging risks and translate statewide needs into effective, innovative training solutions.

As Deputy Superintendent, you will have the opportunity to influence statewide policy and program priorities, strengthen California’s emergency preparedness and response capabilities, and help build a resilient public safety workforce.
