    Our Organization and Mission:

    The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is the state's lead agency for environmental management and stewardship - protecting our air, water and land.

    The vision of DEP is to create strong community partnerships, safeguard Florida's natural resources and enhance its ecosystem.


    The Work You Will Do:

    The Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Office of General Counsel, in Tallahassee is seeking to fill multiple attorney positions in its Litigation Section.

    The attorney would handle and litigate cases from inception through trial in civil and administrative proceedings.

    This is an exciting opportunity to litigate environmental issues such as protecting and managing:

    Florida's air resources, including air quality, and permitting and compliance of emission sources; Florida's water resources, including the quality of Florida's water rivers, lakes, estuaries as well as the preservation of the State's beach and dune system; and the improper handling and disposal of solid and hazardous waste.

    The attorney would also have the opportunity to litigate cases involving the protection and management of the ownership interests in over 12 million acres of public land vested in the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund (Board).


    The Difference You Will Make:
    The Office of General Counsel provides legal counsel and represents the DEP and the Board.

    The office focuses on Florida's environmental priorities, such as restoring America's Everglades; improving air quality; restoring and protecting water quality in Florida's springs, lakes, rivers and coastal waters; conserving environmentally sensitive lands; and providing residents and visitors with varied recreational opportunities.

    The office also represents the Board in real property disputes. DEP is the lead agency in state government for environmental management and stewardship. DEP is one of the more diverse agencies in state government, protecting Florida's air, water and land. Attorneys in OGC have the opportunity to work on all of Florida's environmental priorities.


    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 Capitol 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.

    Tallahassee is a highly desirable location for both those seeking their first job or those ready to enter the next exciting chapter in their career.
