Seeking Administratively Determined workers to support fire cache, tanker base, and dispatch
SILVER CITY, NM, Dec. 3, 2024 – The Gila National Forest will host a recruitment event to identify workers who would provide as-needed support to the Silver City Fire Cache, Gila Aerial Tanker Base, and Silver City Dispatch Center. The recruitment event will take place on Tuesday, December 17 at 5:00 p.m. at the Grant County Conference Center, located at 3031 U.S. Highway 180 in Silver City.
"Administratively Determined – or AD – workers are a staple of the Forest Service's extended firefighting and fire support workforce," said Gila National Forest Fire, Fuels, and Aviation Staff Officer Marcus Cornwell. "It's a great way for job seekers to gain work experience for future job applications while helping the forest fill short-term needs in its organization."
Although AD workers are not classified as regular government employees and do not receive employee benefits, this type of employment provides an opportunity to learn about the work and see if it's a good fit. Interested candidates should bring their resume to the recruitment event where they can talk with hiring officials and learn about the opportunities available. Applicants must be 18 or older.
We will not be recruiting for AD firefighters through this outreach event. Those interested in work as AD firefighters should call the ranger district where you would like to be available for work and talk with the district fire management officer.
