Role Responsibilities

Reporting to the Area Manager, this position is responsible for the planning, delivery and evaluation of Park Ranger operations within Parks sites in the Hinton District. This leadership role oversees a team of seasonal staff to ensure operational excellence and visitor satisfaction.

This program includes visitor management activities, public safety, outdoor recreation services, natural and cultural resource management, identifying human wildlife co‑existence concerns, and various administration functions.

Applying sound recreation management practices, community relationships, and key partnerships, this position resolves multi‑faced visitor conflicts through proactive prevention, education, and compliance monitoring.

Travel by foot, bike, motor vehicle, or off‑highway vehicle to rove campgrounds, day use areas, trails and backcountry areas will be required to meet and communicate with a wide range of park users.
