Local Hire Authority Openings

Every current local-hire authority job opening will be posted here. Most summer jobs are posted in mid-late winter, though jobs do open other times of the year. Read these announcements carefully to determine eligibility.

The National Park Service in Alaska announces many of its job openings through a “local hire” appointing authority that was established under the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (ANILCA) (Public Law 96-487). Under the local hire program, U.S. citizens who have either lived or worked in or near Glacier Bay National Park may apply for consideration. These individuals, by virtue of having lived or worked in the area, have special knowledge and expertise concerning the natural and/or cultural resources of the public land and its management. This level of knowledge would be acquired by having lived or worked in or near the park long enough to encounter and become familiar with the full range of typical conditions that affect the work to be accomplished.
