The Downeast Salmon Federation (DSF) conserves and restores wild sea-run fish and their habitats in Downeast Maine, promoting the abundant return of all sea-run fish species for the ecological, cultural, and economic benefit of the region and beyond. DSF is committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and equitable organization. We value lived experience, local knowledge, and a diversity of perspectives, and we strive to create a workplace where all staff feel respected and supported. 

As a member of the DSF team, the Habitat Restoration Manager will lead the planning, coordination, and implementation of complex tidal marsh and river restoration projects in Downeast Maine. This role manages multi-partner, multi-year restoration efforts–currently including two major marsh restoration projects in Washington County–and collaborates closely with state, federal, municipal and nonprofit partners to advance habitat resilience for sea-run fish.

The Habitat Restoration Manager provides technical oversight, project management, and partner coordination across all phases of restoration work, from planning and permitting through construction, monitoring, and community engagement.
