Project Manager, White Mountains

Founded in Michigan in 1959, Trout Unlimited (TU) is a national non-profit organization with 350,000 members and supporters, organized into over 400 chapters and councils nationwide, dedicated to conserving, protecting, and restoring North America’s coldwater fisheries and their watersheds. These dedicated grassroots volunteers are matched by a respected staff of organizers, lawyers, policy experts, and scientists who work out of more than 40 offices across the country. All these people work together to protect, reconnect, restore, and sustain trout and salmon habitat on behalf of today’s anglers and coming generations of sportsmen and women who value the connection between healthy, intact habitat, healthy communities, and angling opportunity. The Southwest team at TU, working across the Rio Grande, Gila, Salt, Verde, and other trout bearing basins in Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado, has rapidly grown its restoration partnerships in recent years, with a focus on completing post-fire recovery, nature-based solutions, and native fish recovery projects in drought-impacted watersheds. It’s an exciting time to join the Southwest team as it expands its work across the region.

POSITION SUMMARY

TU seeks to hire a self-motivated, passionate, and highly capable person to identify, plan, and implement projects to benefit source watersheds, aquatic resources and native and wild fish populations in Arizona’s White Mountains.

This position will require travel to Arizona project sites and sometimes work in the backcountry, in extremely remote areas of Arizona’s national forests. Additionally, the position will occasionally travel to neighboring states to attend conferences, retreats, and trainings.

The position will be based in eastern Arizona, ideally in Showlow, Pinetop, Eager, Springerville, or Alpine, or in a nearby community, with the ability to travel frequently to project sites.
