You are invited to attend an online recruitment event for LandSurveyors and Survey Technicians in the Intermountain Region (R4) of the U.S. Forest Service. The Forest Service is a federal agency under the U.S. Department of Agriculture that manages 193 million acres of land nationally. The Intermountain Region of the Forest Service encompasses nearly 32-million acres of National Forest System land. It includes 12 National Forests located in Utah, Nevada, western Wyoming, southern and central Idaho, eastern California, as well as one National Grassland in Idaho. The Forest Service motto is “Caring for the Land and Serving People,”, and our mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the nation’s forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations.

Land Surveyors and Survey Technicians in the Forest Service, support the important work of the agency by locating and marking the boundaries of Forest Service System lands. We also identify land title issues, including trespass of buildings, debris, and unauthorized access. The Intermountain Region (R4) maintains an inventory of sophisticated GNSS and traditional survey equipment. We also utilize Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and capture aerial imagery in support of the Engineering and Fire Suppression programs, as well as other natural resource programs.
