The Forest Service is hiring over 100 civil engineers across the agency!

Our engineers work in all types of environments from offices to mountains, from lake to laboratories, and forests to grasslands. Forest Service engineers answer the challenges posed by a huge variety of conditions, climates, and terrain.

As an engineer, you will help plan, design, and maintain many diverse facilities such as water systems and wastewater facilities for developed Forest Service sites; water impoundments; cable systems for ski lifts and logging; boat docks and launching ramps; camping and picnicking areas; heliports and landing strips; footbridges on hiking trails, and bridges on low-volume roads. Engineers also design, construct and maintain thousands of miles of roads and trails and encounter nearly every type of geographical, geological, and environmental engineering challenge. Forest Service engineers are professionals working with other professionals in an interdisciplinary team effort on each project. Your work offers solutions to fish and wildlife challenges such as aquatic organism passage, habitat protection, and connectivity. As well as solutions to range, minerals, and timber management challenges also require the input of professional engineers.
