Green Infrastructure Operations Manager

The City of Eugene’s Parks and Open Space Division is entering a new chapter shaped by thoughtful planning and a strong commitment to protecting the community’s essential green spaces. With the Urban Forestry Action Plan now adopted as our 15-year guide for canopy health, equity improvements, and climate preparedness, we are well positioned to continue building a resilient and livable city.

We are seeking a Green Infrastructure Operations Manager to guide this established section through the work ahead with collaboration, clear direction, and creativity. Eugene has laid a strong foundation for addressing emerging challenges, including climate impacts, drought stress, the spread of Emerald Ash Borer, and increasing wildfire risk, but advancing this framework will require commitment. District-specific strategies and long-term targets, including the plan to establish more than 214,000 new trees over 15 years, underscore the community’s commitment to a healthier, more resilient future.
