DEM also is seeking park rangers and facilities attendants to
work at recreational sites across the state. Park rangers are instrumental to a
safe and fun experience at DEM properties. They give directions to beachgoers
and park users, help with crowd control, provide security checks for facilities,
and are the first responders in the event of emergency.
Hourly rates for park rangers range from $10.50 to $11.60. Applicants for facilities attendant and park ranger I positions must be 16 years of age or older, and applicants to park ranger positions at levels II and III must be 18 years of age or older.
