BLM Pinedale Seeks Range Technician
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Pinedale Field Office is currently seeking interested candidates for the position of range technician.
A BLM range technician works on the conservation, regulation, and use of public lands for grazing; conducts range research activities focused on livestock and wildlife forage, and watershed and soil protection; and assists in the management or preservation of public lands in cooperation with ranchers, wildlife biologists, environmentalists, and other stakeholders.
The Pinedale range technician will also conduct range use supervision; ensure permit and lease compliance; initiate livestock trespass cases; identify the need for construction and maintenance of range improvement projects; collect annual and trend vegetation monitoring data; and perform administrative functions, such as generating applications and bills from the automated Rangeland Administration System.
Applications will be accepted from qualified U.S. citizens through www.usajobs.gov, position WY-DEU-2012-0084, until Aug. 1. Prior federal service is not required. Relocation expenses will be paid.
For more information, please visit www.usajobs.gov or contact Assistant Field Office Manager John Huston at 307-367-5385.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2011, recreational and other activities on BLM-managed land contributed more than $130 billion to the U.S. economy and supported more than 600,000 American jobs. The Bureau is also one of a handful of agencies that collects more revenue than it spends. In FY 2012, nearly $5.7 billion will be generated on lands managed by the BLM, which operates on a $1.1 billion budget. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Bureau accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources on public lands.
