The East Multnomah Soil and Water Conservation District (EMSWCD) is a unit of local government serving the portion of Multnomah County, Oregon, that is east of the Willamette River, with offices located in Portland. Portland is consistently rated as one of the best places to live in the country and it is also frequently named one of the top “green” cities in the US. Portland is known for the abundant outdoor activities the area provides, its progressive politics, support of the arts, its celebrated music and restaurant scenes, coffee culture, and microbreweries. World-class wine is produced in the Willamette Valley, the center of the Oregon wine industry, just a half hour’s drive away.

EMSWCD’s work is non-regulatory and is focused on using cutting edge conservation to keep water clean and soil healthy. The area the District serves is very diverse and ranges from downtown Portland to the farms of east Multnomah County to the scenic Columbia River Gorge.

EMSWCD’s 18-member staff provides a wide variety of programs and services to urban and rural residents and businesses. The Executive Director is the chief executive officer of the District and is supervised by the Board of Directors.

Bachelor’s degree in public administration, non-profit management, natural resources, environmental policy and management, business administration, or a related field.
