Job Description:

Conservation is a Human Endeavor

American Conservation Experience, 501c3, a national non-profit Conservation Corps located in Salt Lake City, Utah, is diversifying its Outreach and Recruitment team for the Emerging Professionals Internship Corps (EPIC) Program, a National internship program dedicated to the development, training, and diversification of the conservation workforce nationwide. 

The EPIC program is seeking to bring a new Full-Time Professional team member on-board who is passionate about public land management, and desires to work at the national level through ACE's 21st Century Service Corps partnership with our Federal land management partners.  Our Partnership responsibility is to provide a bridge between academia and careers for young professionals seeking positions as a public servant within the Department of Interior and Department of Agriculture. 

An individual who has worked with, or directly for, the Bureau of Land Management to implement its complex mission to balance resource use with conservation across our public trust would be ideal in this role.  Experience working with other Agencies, or in higher education, implementing multiple use mandates will also be very useful, as we do work with a variety of other federal partners such as the National Park Service and Bureau of Reclamation.   The ideal candidate must have a solid understanding of the rigors of earning a BA/BS degree (or higher) in biological, cultural, geoscience, or Environmental Science fields.

Responsibility

  • Act as main Point of Contact for ACE's Bureau of Land Management partners regionally and nationally.

  • Coordinate and facilitate trainings, collect and organize data on recruitment statistics, and report program activity and success.
  • Become deeply knowledgeable of Federal Financial Assistance Uniform Guidance, 2 C.F.R 200, in order to assure organizational compliance with current rules and regulations (GAAP, CFR, OMB).
  • Mentoring of interns through the hiring, internship, and career placement cycle.
  • Posting announcements, reviewing and interviewing candidates, and placement of selected interns.
  • Understanding and desire to recruit for workforce diversity as agency directives desire.
  • Assist Grants & Agreements Manager with quarterly, annual, and final project/program reports.
  • Understand and appreciate the complexity and uniqueness of various federal agency cultures.

 

Experience and Skills:

Qualifications:

  • Extremely strong communication skills, and a deep interest in the welfare of ACE's Agency partners and represented interns.
  • Commitment to ACE's mission to public service through youth development & volunteerism.
  • Prefer some knowledge of Federal Grants & Agreements under Federal Uniform Guidance. Successful completion of job duties will require learning this intimately.
  • Knowledge and professional acceptance of the varied missions of federal agencies.  
  • Highly organized with the ability to maintain organization of hundreds of interns and dozens of projects nationwide.
  • Strong computer management skills including experience with recruitment software and online personnel databases, iOS, Filemaker, Excel, MS Office, and Adobe Suite software.
  • Must be flexible, with the ability to work well as part of a highly mobile, highly functional team.
  • Very strong time management skills and the ability and desire to perform multiple and variable tasks.
  • Valid driver's license with clean driving record and willingness to travel to project sites nationwide.
  • Evening, weekend and/or holiday work will be necessary as target college students/graduates are not always available during normal business hours.
  • Desire to participate in field projects, when possible.
  • Ability to pass a federal criminal background check will be required.  ACE reserves the right to require drug testing within our programs.
