Want to join something GREAT and make a difference?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n The Northeast Region is currently seeking a highly motivated individual to fill a vacancy for a Permanent Forest Crew Supervisor- Corrections Facility position at Heights Camp located in Airway Heights, WA.\u00a0 While being highly demanding this position is also highly rewarding to those that want to truly make a difference within a diverse and unique work group. The tangible rewards of this job comes from helping DNR meet its strategic obligations to the community and from working with offenders, who traditionally have minimal job skills and poor work ethics and transforming them into hard working individuals with employable skills.<\/p>\n Developing offenders is a critical function of this position. Successful applicants will need to develop incarcerated individuals with limited skills into a highly functional 10-person team. Heights crews have a commitment to hard work in arduous conditions on wildland fires and in various forest health operations.<\/p>\n The primary responsibilities of the position are in the training, productivity and safety of offenders who engage in wildland firefighting and forest crafts operations. During fire season, the position may require assignments to remote fire camps for extended periods. During fire season, applicants can expect workdays that routinely exceed the normally scheduled 10 hours per day and will require working weekends and holiday as needed for assignments.<\/p>\n The successful applicant will be trusted to primarily recruit, mentor and train offenders in forest craft skills while supervising a 10-person adult male offender crew. These skills will be used to help protect communities, manage DNR State Lands assets and help incarcerated offenders develop job skills that can be used when they release from incarceration. The successful applicant will be trusted to foster and maintain an interactive relationship with DOC in order that offenders are effectively managed across both state agencies according to WAC\u2019s, RCW\u2019s and Interagency Agreements. Additionally, the successful applicant will be trusted to have a productive professional relationship with the Assistant Camp Supervisor. The key to this relationship will be the applicants ability to communicate, problem solve, manage and lead cooperatively with peers and supervisor.<\/p>\n Responsibilities:<\/strong><\/p>\n Required Qualifications:<\/strong><\/p>\n Desirable Qualifications:<\/strong><\/p>\n The Location<\/u><\/strong> Why work for DNR?<\/u><\/strong> We are nearly 1,500 employees strong and dedicated to making DNR a great place to work.
