Are you interested in learning about the Oil and Gas transportation pipeline permitting process? Do you want to work in a positive, supportive environment with knowledgeable, professional staff?

The position requires attention to detail, a methodical approach to work, and strong communication skills.

Mission and Culture
The DNR mission is to develop, conserve and maximize the use of Alaskas natural resources consistent with the public interest. The State Pipeline Coordinator’s Section (SPCS) of the Division of Oil and Gas provides regulatory oversight of common-carrier and contract-carrier transportation pipelines authorized under Alaska Statute 38.35, the Right-of-Way Leasing Act. To facilitate a comprehensive oversight program, the SPCS works closely with other divisions within the Department of Natural Resources and with dedicated liaisons from the Departments of Fish and Game, Environmental Conservation, Labor and Workforce Development, and Public Safety.
