U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Rangeland Management Specialists | GS-5 through GS-11 Permanent • Full-Time • Multiple Locations The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will soon be advertising permanent Rangeland Management Specialist positions (GS-5 through GS-11) at multiple locations across the West. If you're interested in rangeland management, livestock grazing, wildlife habitat, vegetation management, natural resources, and public lands, this is an opportunity to build a long-term career managing some of the nation's most iconic landscapes. What will you do? BLM Rangeland Management Specialists work at the intersection of science, land management, people, and policy. Depending on the position and location, work may include: • Managing livestock grazing on public lands • Conducting rangeland and vegetation monitoring • Evaluating rangeland health and ecological conditions • Working with ranchers, grazing permittees, and local communities • Managing wildlife habitat and other natural-resource values • Developing and implementing rangeland management plans and projects • Using GIS, data, and other technology to support land-management decisions • Working with interdisciplinary teams on complex natural-resource issues • Spending significant time in the field on public lands The work is a combination of fieldwork, science, collaboration, analysis, and resource management. Some days may be spent in the field evaluating vegetation and grazing conditions; other days may involve analyzing data, working with partners, or developing management recommendations. Who should consider applying? We are interested in reaching students, recent graduates, and experienced natural-resource professionals who meet the federal qualification requirements for the 0454 Rangeland Management Specialist series. Your degree does not necessarily have to be titled "Rangeland Management." Depending on your coursework and experience, degrees in related natural-resource fields may qualify. Positions are expected to be advertised at GS-5 through GS-11, providing opportunities for individuals at different stages of their careers. Why BLM? A career with BLM provides the opportunity to work directly on America's public lands while building a career in natural-resource management. BLM employees work across some of the most diverse landscapes in the country and collaborate with ranchers, communities, Tribes, other agencies, conservation organizations, and the public to manage these lands for multiple uses and sustained resource health. This isn't just a summer job or internship—these are permanent positions with opportunities to build a career in public-land management.
