FWS Engineering/Architecture Fellowship
Join us. Do work that matters.
MobilizeGreen seeks conservation-minded Engineering/Architecture Fellows who want a career opportunity in engineering or architecture-related fields for recent graduates interested in conservation careers and positions that support the FWS mission to work with others to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants and their habitats. Through its partnership with the US Fish & Wildlife Service (“FWS”), MobilizeGreen is implementing the FWS’ Maintenance and Infrastructure Fellowship program for diverse participants. The Engineering/Architecture Fellowships typically are for 26 or 52 weeks and are located on refuges or a regional office.
As a Fellow, you will work in a urban or rural setting, gaining hands-on experience in:
planning or environmental protection;
