Senior Crew Leader - Montana @ Montana Conservation Corps
Senior Crew Leader - Montana
Description
The Montana Conservation Corps (MCC) is currently accepting applications for Senior Crew Leader positions! Here at MCC, we focus on the growth of our participants, positively impacting our climate and environment, and transferable job skills. Leaders and their crews will camp while working on physically demanding and essential natural resource and conservation projects on some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the Northern Rockies and Plains. Our crew leaders go through a leadership development program crafted over two decades to enhance their confidence, resilience, and technical capabilities. The Senior Crew Leader helps guide our crew leaders through their training, and is an excellent stepping stone into a staff conservation corps position. If you are looking for something unique and want to make a positive impact on the environment, then this is the perfect opportunity for you!
The Senior Crew Leader’s (SCL) responsibilities will include training of Field Crew Leaders, field visitation and logistical support to help ensure the successful completion of MCC projects and programming, and logistical support to ensure regional operations run smoothly. The SCL, under the supervision of the Regional Program Manager, works with all regional staff and must maintain communication between the office and the field. The SCL helps ensure that MCC policies and procedures are followed by all members and leaders while establishing and maintaining a good working relationship with project partners. The SCL will be called upon to lead or join an existing crew when necessary.
