At the Iowa DNR, we are the stewards of our state's natural health and heritage. We are looking for an Environmental Project Manager who is ready to turn policy into protection.
You’ll be the technical engine behind the landscape of environmental policy implementation with the Clean Water Act, Safe Drinking Water Act, Iowa’s Nonpoint Source Management Plan, and Iowa’s Nutrient Reduction Strategy. This isn't just about following regulations; it's about providing the scientific spark and project management rigor needed to safeguard our drinking water and restore our streams, rivers, and lakes, through various funding sources including but not limited to State Revolving Fund, Section 319 Grant, Source Water Protection, and other priority funding for initiatives. If you are a problem-solver who can navigate complex data, ranging from historical records and LiDAR landscapes to predictive modeling, while remaining just as comfortable conducting physical site visits and engaging with diverse teams and customers, we want you on our team.
