Position Summary
This Ameri Corps position will, in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service, complete projects within the Croatan National Forest. During the planting season, the crew will focus on native tree/shrub planting, site preparation, and seedling protection to support ecosystem restoration efforts across the forest. Following the planting season, the crew will transition to vegetation management work using hand tools such as loppers, hand saws, brush cutters, and herbicide application tools to control invasive or competing vegetation and maintain planting sites.
The crew leader and ACL for this crew will be responsible for any chainsaw operation the project requires. Most work will focus on tasks requiring hand tools or brush cutters, so crew leaders will be chainsaw trained. Crew members will not be chainsaw trained. Crew members should expect to work on rugged terrain in inclement weather, performing repetitive and physically demanding tasks in a fast‑paced outdoor environment.
Assistant
Crew Leaders (ACLs)
Assistant Crew Leaders (ACLs) are primarily responsible for facilitating a positive Crew Member experience. The ACL is a full partner in the crew’s leadership; helping the crew leader to communicate directions, project specifications and constructive criticism throughout the term. This position requires open dialog with the Staff Crew Leader; assisting them with project management, partner communications, overall logistics, and crew assignments.
ACLs set the example of how to work hard with enthusiasm through all kinds of conditions, meanwhile practicing good judgement and safety. ACLs are co‑responsible for facilitating a learning experience for Crew Members, both formally and informally. This position may require additional participation time outside of standard project and crew hours. ACLs are asked to be flexible with changing schedules, weather conditions, and project needs.
Since this is a seasonal position, ACLs are asked to fully commit to the experience, expectations, and timeline.
This position will operate on a variable “hitch” schedule, but generally it will follow 9 days on and 5 days off for camping crews. Workdays follow a 10‑hour shift with scheduled time for breaks. While the staff at CCNC work to provide consistency throughout the season, personal flexibility is expected and should be prepared for when entering the term as schedules, times, and work locations are subject to change per project needs.
