Burn Crew Manager Oakmulgee

What We Can Achieve Together:

• The Burn Crew Manager supervises and mentors a squad of 2 Crew Members in wildland fire activities associated with the U.S. Forest Service on the Oakmulgee Ranger District of the Talladega National Forest as directed by a Burn Boss or other command position. The Burn Crew Manager (BCM) participates in preparing firelines, maintaining equipment, prescribed fire operations, mop-up, post-burn monitoring and other tasks as assigned. They may perform other preserve management duties when conditions are not conducive to prescribed fire. This is a seasonal position that will run from January 4, 2027, to April 23, 2027.
• As part of the BCM’s ongoing professional development, they will be responsible for keeping abreast of new burn techniques and equipment to enhance skills and maintain/grow professional fire certification credentials. In addition, they shall work to build and maintain relationships in the professional fire community and in the local community where the Conservancy works. This may include participation in wild land fire suppression activities in partnership with other non-profits, local fire departments, and local, state and federal agencies, tribal or indigenous, either as a TNC employee, or as a volunteer or short-term employee of the partner entity (such as an Administratively determined, short term federal employee). They should have the ability to perform heavy physical work in variable weather conditions, at remote locations, on difficult and hazardous terrain, and under physically demanding circumstances.
