Description
The Assistant Crew Leader (ACL) is responsible for facilitating a positive Corpsmember experience. This means creating a positive attitude within the crew about the workday, the project and Arizona Conservation Corps as a whole. The ACL is a full partner in the crew’s leadership, helping to communicate directions, projects specifications and constructive criticism throughout the term. This position requires open dialog with the Crew Leader; helping him/her to manage Project Partners, crew assignments and disciplinary issues. The ACL is expected to be able to learn new skills rapidly and assist the Crew Leader in teaching these skills to Corpsmember.
It means more than just showing up and doing the work, it means setting an example of how to work hard with great enthusiasm through all kinds of conditions while practicing good judgement and safety. It means facilitating learning experience for Corpsmembers, both formally and informally. It means having a passion for being outside and working with a team. It may also mean participating in training and additional work beyond the hours of regular crew members
Previously Corps experience is highly recommended.
Project Work
AZCC works with a variety of land management agencies in Arizona, such as the US Forest Service, National Park Service and the Bureau of Land Management, as well as local agencies such as Arizona State Parks and local Non-Profits. Projects vary across crews and locations. This crew is a “roving” crew meaning there will be an opportunity for a variety of projects that range in skills and geographic location.
Projects will vary but could include things like trail construction and maintenance, ecosystem restoration, habitat restoration, fire fuels reduction, barbed wire fence construction, invasive weed removal, herbicide applications and many others. All projects require a willingness to work hard, be safe and have fun.
Training
In additional to the training that all Corpsmembers receive, Assistant Crew Leaders will attend and participate in an 8 day intensive leadership training that could include things like chainsaw training or advanced rock work skills. The focus of the training will be developing leadership skills and forming strong bonds between leadership teams.
Job Progression
Over the term, the ACL will be expected to expand their role, learn leadership strategies from the Crew Leader, be able to correctly and completely fill out paperwork, and on occasion assume management duties for the duration of a project. The hope is that ACL and Crew Leader will act as one leadership unit.
