Description

  

POSITION SUMMARY


TU is seeking to hire a self-motivated and highly capable project manager to identify, prioritize, plan, and implement water and habitat-restoration and irrigation-efficiency projects. The primary work area will include communities between Salt Lake City and Spanish Fork Utah including two priority waters – the Mill Creek and Provo River basins. The project manager will work with communities, agency partners, landowners, and other stakeholders to improve the resiliency of native fisheries and habitat by improving habitat, water quality, fish passage, and natural resource management. A successful candidate will work with a team of stakeholders in each watershed to prioritize, design, and implement a wide range of restoration activities across the basin with the intent to deliver broad benefits to fisheries, agricultural producers, and communities surrounding the rivers. Typical projects include construction of beaver dam analogs (BDAs), reconstruction of irrigation diversions to allow for fish passage, and floodplain restoration. Work will occur on private and public lands. Additionally, there will be opportunities to work on instream flow leasing projects that bolster water levels in the rivers, Utah Lake, and the Great Salt Lake. A successful candidate will have the freedom to be creative with projects and prioritize opportunities. This position is highly visible to TU members and a multitude of stakeholders. The project manager will need to understand the needs of the various stakeholders and engage with communities in a meaningful way. This position will be based out of a home office with travel throughout the work area; therefore, it is flexibly based in communities between Salt Lake City and Spanish Fork, UT.
