Hey everyone,

I wanted to spread the word about these two job postings DCR has for candidates with GIS experience. Feel free to share with other colleagues/students. Although they say that they are seasonal, both positions have been approved to also have a winter season meaning the year is split up into two contracts and the work is year-round. I previously was in one of these positions and was hired on full time, so that's a possibility as well. Please apply through the links but feel free to reach out to me with any questions. More descriptive information if you follow each link.

And train staff in how to use applications. Salary: $1731.12 Bi-weekly https://massanf.taleo.net/careersection/ex/jobdetail.ftl?job=220003MH&tz=GMT-04%3A00&tzname=America%2FNew_York
