The Crew Manager (CM) will supervise, train, and manage a crew of Restoration Technicians (RT) on a variety of ecological restoration projects. CMs work alongside RTs to implement public/residential/commercial landscapes ranging from small to large scale native installations (planting, seeding, erosion control) and land management (invasive species, prescribed fire, woodland editing). CMs are expected to manage daily project logistics ensuring projects are completed on-time and budget. CMs are expected to drive the in-field work trucks. This position is physically demanding, requiring long, consecutive days performing repetitive tasks in various weather and topographic conditions. Projects are located in the Twin Cities and Upper Midwest.

The ideal candidate for this position is highly reliable, adept at planning and executing the project tasks, and capable of performing physically demanding tasks in outdoor environments. They should be comfortable working in varied seasonal weather conditions and demonstrate a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate and work effectively both independently and as part of a team. The candidate should have experience in invasive and native species identification, integrated pest management (IPM), small equipment (chainsaw, brushsaw), and herbicide application. Experience with seeding, planting, erosion control practices, and prescribed burn experience is also preferred.
