The ideal candidate is highly motivated, conscientious and an excellent leader. Previous work experience should include a minimum of several seasons in the New England backcountry, including at least one season on a trail crew and at least one season in a supervisory role. For the right candidate, this is an excellent opportunity to lead a seasonal program.
The candidate will be walking or hiking several miles on given days, sometimes packing in materials for trail or camps work, and engaging in repairs and light construction.
Approximately mid-May to the first week of September. Some scheduling flexibility is possible.
The Field Supervisor pay is commensurate with experience and is based on a forty-hour week. Housing is provided in a private apartment at the RMC Stearns Lodge in Randolph.
