Jobs

The National Park Service seeks students, professionals, and other qualified individuals from all academic disciplines and trades for a wide variety of internship, seasonal, and permanent positions. We encourage all interested and qualified persons to apply for jobs. We want a workforce that reflects the diversity of the United States of America. You must be a United States citizen to be eligible for consideration for employment. Certain jobs may also have age and physical qualifications. The National Park Service fills all positions in accord with U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) regulations.

How Jobs Are Filled
Federal agencies fill jobs in several ways. Not all jobs are open to external applicants. Agencies can: promote an employee, hire an employee who wants to transfer from another agency, reinstate a former federal employee, or request the names of applicants from an OPM register.

USAJOBS is the Federal Government's official employment site. It has employment opportunies across the United States with many federal agencies, including the National Park Service. Many NPS employees begin their career in seasonal or temporary positions.
