Procurement and Contract Coordinator

Watershed Agricultural Council Walton, NY Full-time Other

Posted on March 13, 2025

The Watershed Agricultural Council, a non-profit organization working to protect the NYC Watershed, while supporting farm and forest land uses, is seeking a Procurement and Contract Coordinator. The Procurement and Contract Coordinator will be responsible for the Best Management Practices (BMP) procurement procedures, and the tracking and reporting of encumbrances and BMP budget of the Watershed Agricultural Program BMP throughout the NYC Watershed. The Procurement and Contract Coordinator works under the direct supervision of the WAC Agricultural Program Manager. Qualifications and requirements are detailed in the position description available at http://www.nycwatershed.org/careers. Salary, $68,000-$78,000. WAC holds a dual mission: to address surface-water quality through land conservation while supporting the economic viability of agriculture and forestry in the watershed region. A Whole Farm Plan or Forest Management Plan incorporates a number of water-quality improvements, mitigation approaches and common sense measures, called best management practices or BMPs. These BMPs, along with land conservation techniques and team planning, are tailored to that farming or forested property. Similarly, conservation easements placed on watershed farms and woodlands ensure working landscapes are protected for future generations. Strong agriculture-focused and forestry-based industries bolster the local watershed economy. The natural environment, complimented by WAC’s water-quality protection programs, not only serves as New York City’s watershed, but as its viewshed and foodshed, too. Watershed Agricultural Council is an equal opportunity employer.
