At the State of Connecticut, Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (DEEP), we are dedicated to conserving, improving and protecting our natural resources and the environment and increasing the availability of cheaper, cleaner and more reliable energy. The mission of the Bureau of Natural Resources is to conserve and enhance Connecticut’s fish, wildlife and forest resources and to enhance opportunities for public use and appreciation. The Bureau of Natural Resources is made up of three Divisions (Fisheries, Forestry and Wildlife) and a central office.
Programs within the Forestry Division focus on working with partners to protect Connecticut's forest resources. With close to 60% of its land area in forest, Connecticut is one of the most heavily forested states in the nation. At the same time, Connecticut is also one of the most densely populated states.
The Forestry Division has a current opportunity for a Seasonal Resource Assistant to be based at the DEEP Eastern District Headquarters, Marlborough. This position will be working in the Forest Protection Program, under direction of the Fire Supervisor. Although based at the Eastern District Headquarters, this position may require occasional work at the DEEP Headquarters in Hartford. Some telework will also be allowed, and some statewide travel may be required. Primarily based in the fire program, this position may be required to work on insect and disease as directed.
Primary work schedule is Monday-Friday. Flexible schedules considered, up to 40 hours a week. The position is 1,040 hours in duration and does not include benefits.
Position specific questions can be sent to Helene.Hochholzer@ct.gov.
