On your days off, you can immerse yourself in Nature's playground as you hike, bike, fish, or hunt, or take to the waterways to spot wildlife from the water. Known for its abundant natural resources including oil & gas, forestry and agriculture, this vibrant community offers k-12 schools, parks, and community recreation facilities and programs for both young and young-at-heart. If you're looking for a relaxing pace of life surrounded in Nature, apply today! Over time, this position may evolve to include other program areas and geographic responsibilities, and/or other duties as required.
