Hood River, United States Farmers Conservation Alliance (FCA) Full time

(See below on how to apply, please do not apply via LinkedIn)


CONTRACT & ADMINISTRATIVE SPECIALIST

FULL-TIME


Farmers Conservation Alliance is a 501(c)(3) organization that operates at the intersection of agriculture, water, and energy. We are excited to bring on a Contract & Administrative Specialist to support our rapidly growing teams and programs. The Contract & Administrative Specialist will work primarily with our contracts and administration team to support our federal, state, and private contractual obligations to ensure compliance, assure accurate tracking of tasks, deadlines, and project progress, and support project teams as needed with up-to-date contractual information. The Contracts & Administrative Specialist will also develop reports for all grants and contracts, and track reporting requirements across the organization. Further, this position will support human resources needs generally.


WHEN YOU WORK FOR US, HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL FIND

Our staff of over 40 strategy, funding specialists, technical professionals, and public policy experts and consultants believe that everyone can win – farmers, rivers, and communities. We formed 15 years ago to successfully bring an innovative fish screen technology to market. This farmer-developed technology, now known as the Farmers Screen, helps to keep fish and debris in rivers and out of water supplies.


Since that time, our work has expanded to include the Irrigation Modernization Program—an innovative program to help farmers and ranchers modernize all aspects of their water delivery systems. Staff work with water users, agencies, and organizations to design, finance, and implement large-scale solutions and technologies that improve water delivery systems, reduce operation and maintenance costs, and generate fish-friendly hydropower.


Our headquarters in Hood River, Oregon, inspires staff in both their professional and personal lives. Hood River’s abundant apple, pear, and cherry orchards and salmon-bearing streams provide daily context for our work. And Hood River’s one-hour commute to Portland provides staff with easy access to a regional transportation hub, facilitating travel to and from our headquarters.


SO THAT’S US. NOW ABOUT THE WORK

FCA manages dozens of grants and contracts with federal, state, local and private entities to support project development and construction. From small grants to assessment community water needs, to multi-million-dollar contracts to advance infrastructure modernization at scale, we are responsible for tracking a variety of reports, budgets and deliverables across a wide range of geographies and subject matters. Further, our 40+ staff require support in a variety of ways, and the Contracts & Administrative Specialist will help track these various needs across the organization, supporting compliance with contract requirements.
