Our Organization and Mission:

The Work You Will Do:
The Environmental Specialist III position is responsible for managing grants in the Resilient Florida Program. The Resilient Florida Program was established during the 2021 Legislative Session with the passage of SB1954/HB7019 and the creation of section 380.093, Florida Statutes. This legislation will ensure that communities have the resources they need for resilience planning and project implementation as well as creating a framework for a cohesive, coordinated approach to address the impacts of sea level rise, effects of intensified storms and localized flooding.
The program will administer the Resilient Florida Grant Program, complete a comprehensive statewide flood vulnerability and sea level rise data set and assessment, develop annual Resilience Plans consisting of prioritized projects for funding consideration, support Regional Resilience Entities and collaborate with the Florida Flood Hub of Applied Research and Innovation. The program will include sections devoted to planning, grant and budget management, technical support and data management.
The Difference You Will Make:
The Office of Resilience and Coastal Protection, along with the new beach regulation and management components, strives to achieve a more synergized and unified goal of protecting and managing our coastal resources by ensuring optimal quality, longevity and health of these resources over time.
How You Will Grow:
DEP encourages its leaders to constantly innovate and seek efficiencies. We believe in supporting and encouraging you as you take on important and often complex projects while offering you the opportunity to gain valuable experience quickly.
Where You Will Work:
Tallahassee, Florida’s Capital City, lined with rolling hills, oak trees, and canopied roads combines old world charm with a modern pace of life. Home to two major universities as well as state government, Tallahassee is a mid-sized city in the heart of Florida’s Big Bend.
