Summary
POSITION HIGHLIGHTS
This is a full-time position, Monday through Friday with occasional evening and weekend responsibilities.
The Bureau Chief's office is located at the DEEP Headquarters in Hartford, CT with part-time telework/hybrid schedule flexibility. Some in-state travel may be required.
ABOUT US
The State of Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) is charged with conserving, improving, and protecting the natural resources and the environment of the State of Connecticut as well as making cheaper, cleaner, and more reliable energy available for the people and businesses of the state. The agency also is committed to playing a positive role in building Connecticut's economy and creating jobs to foster a sustainable and prosperous economic future for the state.
YOUR ROLE
The Bureau of Natural Resources (BNR) applies fisheries, wildlife, and forestry management principles and conducts scientific investigations and assessments to protect and ensure the wise and sustainable use of these resources. The Bureau includes three divisions: Wildlife, Fisheries, and Forestry.
This leader will be responsible to drive change to support two priorities for Environmental Conservation which are:
- Address Climate Change through Adaptation (Habitat) & Mitigation (Carbon). Climate change is currently threating Connecticut’s natural resources. Creating and protecting fish, forest and wildlife habitat is the best way to ensure native species can adapt. Natural resources also provide an important role in mitigation through carbon sequestration and storage.
- Provide Equitable, Safe, and Sustainable Access to Connecticut’s Natural Resources. DEEP is working to ensure that Connecticut’s treasured natural resources are accessible, appreciated and conserved by all residents regardless of socioeconomic status, race, geographic location within the state, or other factors. Conservation and appreciation for natural resources is fueled by positive experiences - whether birding, fishing, hunting, photography, hiking, biking, etc. Engaging all people in the outdoors will ensure Connecticut enjoys strong support for the conservation of its natural resources for generations to come.
In order to be successful in the role, the Bureau Chief will need to be able to lead and influence big picture strategy and objectives while also creating and managing detailed oriented systems/processes that support those objectives. The Bureau Chief will also need to be able to communicate effectively and build relationships across the department and with external stakeholders such as legislators, media, and advocacy groups.
The Bureau Chief should be an exceptionally well-organized people and process leader, well versed in energy and environmental protection conservation efforts, experienced at supervising people, and a skilled manager with a track record of delivering complex projects on time.
If you're looking for an opportunity to positively shape the future of natural resources in Connecticut, we encourage you to apply!
