Description
Project Managers in Trout Unlimited’s Southern Appalachians Program serve a vital role by increasing coldwater conservation capacity in a region that is historically under-resourced. The primary scope of these positions is identifying, prioritizing, planning and implementing projects to improve fish passage, benefit streamflow, restore habitat, and improve water quality in watersheds heavily impacted by historical forestry practices and modern land-use issues. Daily work is variable and split between office and field tasks. Projects are carried out in close collaboration with federal, state, non-profit, consulting, contracting and volunteer partners. Project Managers will interact with other TU project managers and stream restoration specialists but also need to be able to work independently for extended periods.
The North Carolina Project Manager will be focused on stream habitat restoration in the western portion of the state. Work primarily occurs on Pisgah National Forest and Nantahala National Forest but some opportunities exist to expand work onto nearby private lands. The current project slate includes work within two Watershed Restoration Action Plans and includes road-stream crossing replacements, road decommissioning, rebuilding water control features to address runoff issues, and addressing streambank stabilization.
Competitive candidates for this position must demonstrate strong project management skills. Preference will be given to candidates with background and experience in construction management, stream restoration, natural sciences, and/or partnership building. Candidates must demonstrate a strong ability to work cooperatively with diverse project partners and stakeholders. The ability to effectively advocate for desirable outcomes for coldwater fisheries is also required.
The positions will require frequent local and occasional overnight travel for meetings and field work. This position will be based remotely, ideally around the Asheville, NC region.
