Careers and Jobs

The U.S. Forest Service offers positions for both permanent and temporary employees. Permanent positions are for full-time employees and provide a flexible range of federal government benefits. Temporary positions are for part-time or seasonal employees and provide benefits that vary with the position and location. Due to the seasonal nature of many of the responsibilities of the U.S. Forest Service, such as wildfire fighting and seasonal recreation programs, many temporary workers are required.
