Natural Resources Conservation Service
7 remote or telework-eligible positions · federal agency
The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is the Department of Agriculture agency that works with farmers, ranchers and other private landowners on conserving soil, water, air, plants and wildlife on their land. It began as the Soil Conservation Service in the Dust Bowl era and today delivers technical and financial assistance through programs such as the Environmental Quality Incentives Program and the Conservation Stewardship Program, with a state conservationist leading each state office and field staff in county offices.
Recent listings have included a resource conservationist, a natural resource specialist or soil conservationist, supervisory soil conservationists serving as assistant state conservationists for field operations, an interdisciplinary assistant state conservationist for programs, civil engineers in hydraulics and hydrology and as state conservation engineer, a supervisory civil or agricultural engineer, an archeologist and a financial resource specialist.
Applying tip: the conservationist series carry a positive education requirement in natural resources, agriculture or a related science, so attach transcripts, and field-operations leadership roles want evidence of running conservation planning with landowners and partner agencies. The engineering guide covers the civil and agricultural engineer titles.
