Reserve Steward-Facilities Management
Under direction of the Resident Reserve Director, the incumbent primarily ensures the proper function of facilities and infrastructure through the design, logistics and implementation of specific ongoing, seasonal, and new projects; carries out the servicing, maintenance or repair of any and all facilities, including visitor and staff buildings and their associated infrastructure (power, water, waste and safety), trails, roads, defensible space and grounds; and is involved in the planning and designing of facilities upgrades to meet, and improve on their long-term functionality for user-based needs. These tasks require independent contributions based on a working knowledge and application of multiple skilled and technical trades as well as experience with facilities operations in a remote, rural setting. The incumbent may, at times, oversee variable-time staff, outside contractors and volunteer work crews. The rugged living and working conditions require a high level of personal integrity including the ability to sustain professionalism among a small crew of colleagues. Storms, landslides, floods, wildfires and highway closures can result in physical isolation for extended periods of time. Of critical importance is a heightened awareness of safety as this is essential when working in a location far from emergency services. Significant creativity and novel solutions are often needed to respond to extraordinary problems that often have an unusual degree of difficulty, requiring the use of a wide variety of tools and either purchased or on-site materials to construct or fabricate items necessary for supporting daily reserve operations. An appreciation for, and support of, the scientific and educational mission of the Natural Reserves System is required.
