Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Foundation•Medora, ND

10h•Onsite

About The Position

Since 2014, the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Foundation (TRPLF) has been planning and building a new, ambitious kind of presidential library and museum. Other presidential libraries tell the story of a single individual, but the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library (TRPL) – being built more than a century after T.R.’s death – will do more than preserve history. The TRPL will be a people’s library, bringing Roosevelt’s values and relentless spirit to life at a critical time in our nation and world, while simultaneously championing the stories of all who “dare greatly, think boldly, care deeply, and live passionately.” The library is currently being constructed in Medora, North Dakota, with a milestone planned for July 4, 2026 – America’s 250th anniversary. Participants at the TRPL will learn from – not just about – Roosevelt’s story, being transformed into the same stunning Badlands that served as the fulcrum in T.R.’s incredible life story. Guided by the pillar principles of leadership, citizenship, and conservation, the Foundation has partnered with innovative partners – like the award-winning architecture firm, Snøhetta, and the best-in-class story crafters, the Future of Storytelling – to build an institution like no other. With plans to be the most sustainable presidential library and campus ever, a revolutionary approach to interpretive design, and programming that will spread the library’s message into neighboring Theodore Roosevelt National Park and beyond across the globe, the opportunity to join a talented team in building and opening this institution is truly unique. About the Role The Environmental Services Technician I (Part-Time) is a steward of the interior environments that support one of the most sustainable cultural institutions in the world. This role contributes to the daily care, safety, and readiness of public, staff, and back-of-house spaces, ensuring that interior environments are clean, healthy, and welcoming for visitors and employees. More than routine cleaning, this position plays an important role in operational readiness and visitor experience. Through consistent attention to detail, adherence to established standards, and collaboration with the Facilities and Environmental Services teams, the Environmental Services Technician helps maintain interior spaces that function as an integral part of the Library’s mission and sustainability commitments. Working under the direction of the Manager of Facilities Engineering and Infrastructure, this role supports daily operations, events, and seasonal needs, providing flexible coverage while upholding the same expectations for stewardship, safety, and professionalism as full-time Environmental Services staff.
