Mt. Adams Resource Stewards (MARS), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 2004, is seeking a highly motivated and team-oriented individual to oversee the planning and implementation of fuels management projects in support of community fire management in western Klickitat County. As part of the inaugural round of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s Community Wildfire Defense Grant Program, MARS was awarded a five-year investment to build-out a network of strategic fuel breaks near several Klickitat County communities and travel corridors. MARS is also partnering with the Yakama Nation Forestry Program on a similar grant awarded to the tribe, and is the beneficiary of a number of other investments in community-driven wildfire risk mitigation across the southern Mount Adams landscape. The successful candidate will work closely and collaboratively with MARS’s Fire Adapted Communities Program Manager and Stewardship Crew Program Manager in support of effective implementation of funded activities. The position will involve a combination of office and field work as well as meetings with landowners, project partners, contractors, and other stakeholders. Ideal skills include experience with field forestry or natural resource project management and contract administration. Specific responsibilities will include: unit reconnaissance and collaboration around unit prescriptions; geo-spatial analysis and design; landowner coordination and agreement management; RFP development and management for any sub-contracts; project financial management support to include invoicing/billing; reporting to grantors and partners; coordination with Stewardship Crew Project Manager and Monitoring Coordinator; and public outreach and communications.
