This opportunity is open to current King County employees. We are not accepting external applications at this time.

The Capital Program & Project Manager’s (Capital Project Manager III) primary responsibilities will be to manage and coordinate the Washington Conservation Corps (WCC) program and lead capital project teams in the planning, design, and implementation of restoration projects which range in size, complexity, and visibility. On Capital projects, you will manage multidisciplinary teams working closely with ecologists, engineers, geologists, project managers, planners, other professionals, and consultants to implement salmon recovery plans.

In overseeing WCC you will work closely with the WA State Department of Ecology, capital project managers, and WCC supervisors and corps members to manage crew logistics and train, direct, and oversee work. You will frequently coordinate and collaborate with staff throughout the HRU and other sections in WLRD while also coordinating and communicating verbally and in writing with interested parties such as Tribal representatives, regulatory agencies, property owners, and the public.

You will have opportunities to participate in key Department and County initiatives such as promoting equity and social justice, considering climate change, organizational development, process improvement committees, and mentoring junior staff.

The Water and Land Resources Division (WLRD) is at the forefront of King County’s efforts to protect and restore clean water and healthy habitat and strengthen the resilience of communities, environment, and infrastructure in the face of climate change. We are a dedicated workforce of more than 450 supported by an annual budget of ~$280 million. WLRD has a strong track record of developing innovative strategies to protect working farms and forests, restore habitat, improve water quality, and provide county residents with equitable access to green space.

We house the Land Conservation Initiative, which aims to preserve our last, most important lands. Our forestry and agricultural programs help individuals protect their lands and support local food production. We house four salmon recovery forums where we collaborate with scores of partners to plan, design, and build habitat projects. We partner with regional jurisdictions to help residents and businesses reduce the threats posed by production, use, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials.

We are the primary service provider to the King County Flood Control District, contributing to flood preparedness and constructing and maintaining facilities that restore rivers and reduce risk. Our one true local service to unincorporated King County is stormwater management, protecting water quality, reducing flooding, and building and maintaining facilities. Finally, we provide regional science and laboratory services to an array of customers, maintaining high-quality data sets used to assess water quality and habitat trends, and provide Best Available Science to inform decision making.

In two words, we are a watershed utility.

King County, named after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., is a diverse and vibrant community that represents cultures from around the world.
