The Kaibab National Forest employs approximately 136 permanent employees in a variety of professional, administrative, technical and clerical occupations. Turnover is low and employment opportunities are limited. During the field season, April through November, approximately 125 temporary seasonal aids and technicians are employed for wildland firefighting and resource work in timber, wildlife, recreation and lands. Occasionally, there may be other temporary seasonal positions available, such as Interpretive Assistants, Archeological Technicians, or Federal Wage System jobs such as Laborers or Engineering Equipment Operators. When positions are available, vacancy announcements or recruiting bulletins are issued to solicit applications for short periods of time.
Public involvement plays an important part in managing our national forest lands.
The Kaibab relies more and more on volunteers to assist with campgrounds and other programs. Concerned citizens help the forest to provide better wildlife habitat, identify and preserve historic sites, and build and maintain trails. We extend a warm welcome to all who wish to volunteer on the Kaibab National Forest.
