Do you have a passion for nature and a dedication to serving your community? The Natural Areas Department seeks an individual to fill a Sr. Supervisor role in the Ecological Stewardship work group. The successful candidate will lead a team of professional and technical staff that conduct habitat monitoring and implement adaptive management actions across a 40,000-plus acre Natural Areas system.

This position, under the supervision of the Ecological Stewardship Manager, will assist in the leadership of a team responsible for resource monitoring, water rights administration, and adaptive management through various habitat improvement techniques. Restoration, ecology, or fire/disturbance management are helpful skillsets.  Highly competitive candidates will be able to describe critical thinking skills, experience with measurement and taking data-informed action, and working with teams to accomplish shared goals.

With a focus on adaptive management and disturbance-related management practices, this position will assume responsibility for building workflows, planning projects, and responding to community member inquiries – all while spending time on the ground evaluating habitat and crew activities across the Natural Areas land portfolio.

The Natural Areas Department is seeking a candidate with at least six years of experience in ecology and/or natural resources with a strong background in understanding and the applied use of ecological monitoring data. Supervisory experience is strongly preferred.
