EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES:

In accordance with Civil Service guidelines, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) electronically recruits and accepts applications for vacancies using the State Civil Service (SCS) jobs website at https://jobs.civilservice.louisiana.gov, also known as the LA Careers system.

Once applicants create an account, they can build, save and submit their online application to job openings throughout Louisiana State government. It is important that applicants include all relevant education and experience on their application. Through their account, applicants can also track the progress of their application throughout the hiring process.  For more detailed information, please view Civil Service's First Time User's Guide.
