Job Summary
The Program Administrator of Lands, Public Works and Resources will report to the Toquaht Director of Lands, Public Works and Resources. This position will support the administration and program operations of the department of Lands, Public Works and Resources; we will work to build on your skills, experience, background, and interests towards the efficient implementation of our many programs. There will be opportunities for training and personal growth.
This position works mainly out of the Toquaht Nation Government Office in Ucluelet, but is required to be out in the field reviewing land and resource impacts, as well as matters related to public works infrastructure maintenance, inspections, and development from time to time.
