Full-time

USA The Nature Conservancy

What We Can Achieve Together:

The NC Coastal Plain Prescribed Fire Crew Manager participates in preserve operations, restoration, maintenance, and management. This may include the following functions:
  • Leads a 4-person crew on prescribed fire activities, which may include: burn unit prep, fire operations, managing staff and volunteers, maintenance of equipment and supplies, mop up, and monitoring.
