If you have enthusiasm for knowledge and outdoor recreation, we have an exceptionally rewarding career opportunity waiting for you. The Bureau of Outreach, Education, and Marketing within the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission is seeking a colleague who wants to combine their love of angling, aquatic resources, and boating safety with their passion for teaching others to enjoy and appreciate our natural resources. We are looking for someone who is eager for their next adventure in fishing, paddling, or boating and is excited to share it with others. If you value being a team player and enjoy problem solving, please apply!
As an Environmental Education Specialist, you will develop, coordinate, and implement aquatic resource education programs across northcentral and southcentral Pennsylvania for the Fish and Boat Commission. These specialized educational programs support the agency's mission, strategic plan, and efforts in recruitment, retention, and reactivation of anglers and boaters in the Commonwealth.
You will facilitate in-person and virtual programs, training, and workshops focusing on fishing skills, boating safety, aquatic ecology, fisheries management, and instructor level training and certification courses. Audiences include formal and non-formal educators, school students, youth groups, adult groups, other agency staff, and the general public. Strong communication and leadership skills are essential, as you will serve as the agency liaison for organizations engaged in aquatic resource conservation, recreation, angler education, boating education, travel, and related tourism. You will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with other agencies and partner organizations to build capacity for education programs and services.
We highly encourage you to apply if you excel in public speaking and enjoy networking and educating others!
