Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management careers
3 verified openings
DEM is the chief steward of Rhode Island's natural resources, and in a state this size that covers a wide beat: parks and beaches, farms and local food, fish and wildlife, marine resources, environmental monitoring, and its own law enforcement. Two bureaus carry the load, Natural Resources and Environmental Protection, with administrative adjudication and legal services beside them. The stated mission is to protect, restore, and promote the environment so Rhode Island remains a wonderful place to live, visit, and raise a family.
The Natural Resources Bureau is where the outdoor divisions live: Parks and Recreation, Fish and Wildlife, Marine Fisheries, Coastal Resources, Agriculture and Forest Environment, Planning and Development, and Law Enforcement. The Narragansett Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve sits in the same bureau, and the Environmental Protection Bureau handles the permitting and monitoring side.
