West Oakland Reforestation Task Force Project Manager Due April 15

The West Oakland Reforestation Task Force is recruiting a half-time executive position of project manager to get started planting trees in West Oakland after the City's programs have been discontinued. They have $50,000 on hand of which about $30,000 is available for compensation. Salary has not yet been determined but should be in the $60-70K FTE equivalent; more than a job for a smart college kid.

They are looking for a person with general management and fund-raising experience who will have some knowledge of the diverse pools of money from which urban trees are funded. Writing grants and working in the community will be a big part of the job. According to the hiring committee, "enthusiasm" and "hit the ground running" are key qualifications.

Interested candidates should indicate an interest by April 15th; Tom McCoy with BBI Construction has details. Write him at tmccoy@bbiconstruction.com.
