• Assess trail conditions and lead approved construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance.
• Turn partner goals into practical plans, schedules, and budgets, and coordinate contractors.
• Train and coach volunteer trail leaders and lead safe, productive workdays.
• Work directly with land managers to plan projects and address trail needs.
WHAT YOU’LL BRING
Hands-on natural-surface trail skills, experience leading crews or volunteers, and clear communication with partners. TORC seeks four or more years of progressively responsible experience in trail work, parks or natural-resource field operations, or closely related construction work.
