Reports to: River Clean-Up Team Leader

Direct Reports: No one

Typical Schedule: Full Time - 32+ hours per week. Flexible to meet the needs of the clean-up projects. Workdays may be cancelled due to adverse weather or water conditions.

Reporting to River Clean-up Team Leaders, River Clean-Up Team Crew Members work in teams with the goal of restoring the Western NC rivers to an accessible, safe, and scenic condition for paddlers, commercial outfitters, members of the public, and landowners.

Work will be conducted in a variety of locations (such as along the river itself and on private riverside lands when permitted to do so) and conditions (including extreme cold and heat as well as clear or inclement weather).

The work is extremely demanding and is completed in environments that are potentially hazardous (such as in or on water). While much of the work will be done on foot, River Clean-Up Leaders and Crew Members will also work in boats (rafts, jon boats, canoes, etc.) provided by MountainTrue. River Clean-Up team leaders and Crew Members must be prepared for strenuous tasks including the frequent lifting and moving of objects up to (and sometimes exceeding) 50 pounds, bending, stooping, standing, or sitting for long periods of time.

Collected garbage will be bagged and/or collected and disposed of properly with equipment (trucks, dump trailers, etc.), along with rented dumpsters and other items.

Mountain True will provide the necessary tools and equipment to pick up and remove trash and debris.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • 18 Years of age or older
  • Prior experience with litter clean-ups, especially in, on, and around rivers, boating experience, chainsaw and power tool use, and driving trailers are helpful skills, but not required.
  • Access to reliable transportation and a valid drivers license
  • Access to sturdy work clothes

This position is eligible to receive benefits including: Health insurance, Paid Time Off (vacation, sick leave, jury duty and bereavement leave) as well as access to MountainTrues retirement plan.

Due to an overwhelming response to this position we ask for patience as we review all incoming applications.
