Would you like to work for the National Park Service to help protect one of America’s most special landscapes? The Blue Ridge Parkway is seeking qualified candidates to help maintain America’s Favorite Drive. Designed to provide a rural driving experience connecting Shenandoah National Park to Great Smoky Mountain National Park, the Parkway provides the opportunity to take a leisurely drive along some of the most scenic and beautiful countryside in the United States. It also provides a means to get to hiking trails, overlooks, streams and historic sites that provide meaningful connections to over 10 million visitors each year.
To protect and preserve this special place requires an exceptional group of dedicated individuals working together to keep the Parkway maintained and running smoothly.
