Job Description

The Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), Division of Water is seeking a motivated College Intern II to support and assist the Operator Training and Certification Program. The Operator Training and Certification Program certifies operators of Alaskan water and wastewater systems statewide and ensures that systems are staffed appropriately.

An internship with the DEC is an excellent introduction to employment with state government. Our intern will be responsible for a wide variety of tasks, including: administrative support (copying, scanning, filing, etc.), data entry, phone coverage, maintenance of the program’s website, assistance with exam administration, oversight of special projects, and much more.

We are looking for an intern with strong organizational skills, an eye for detail, and extensive computer experience. Additionally, we are seeking an intern who can learn the specifics of our program and become a participating member of the Operator Training and Certification Program team.
