At the Iowa DNR, we are the stewards of our state’s natural beauty. We are looking for a Central Iowa Basin Coordinator who is ready to take the lead.

You’ll be the “boots on the ground” lead worker, providing the technical spark and financial guidance needed to restore our impaired streams, protect our drinking water, and develop the connections to ensure lasting and impactful improvement to Iowa’s natural resources. If you’re a problem-solver who loves the outdoors and wants to lead a team toward a common goal, we want to hear from you.

As the Central Iowa Basin Coordinator, you won’t just be managing projects, you’ll be the bridge between local communities and a cleaner, healthier Iowa. We’re looking for a leader who is passionate about conservation and ready to turn strategy into real-world results.
