Job opportunity with King County Noxious Weed Control

King County is recruiting for a Noxious Weed Control Specialist II, with applications accepted through February 19, 2021. This person will work with both public agencies and private landowners to develop and implement noxious weed control activities in a region of the county. The Noxious Weed Control Program works to prevent and reduce the economic, environmental and social impacts of noxious weeds in King County. The program’s focus is to achieve voluntary control of noxious weeds regulated under the state law through education and technical assistance to landowners when possible, and regulatory compliance only if needed.

The person in this position will also develop stewardship plans for properties in the Healthy Lands Project, an effort of the Noxious Weed Control Program that improves the health of conservation and open space lands in King County. Other activities of the position include public outreach and education, plant identification, working with crews and volunteers, managing special projects, and landowner engagement. The job combines fieldwork, plant surveys, data analysis, weed control, public communication, and more! We hope you will consider joining our team, and that you will share the job information with others who might be interested as well.
