What PLM Employees Are Saying:

“I love going to different lakes every day and then seeing the results from our previous treatments. Not every terrain or waterbody is the same. Sometimes, you need to look out for tree stumps, rocks or wildlife. Anything can happen out in the field.”
“What I liked most about my time working at PLM was the atmosphere. I very much enjoyed the people that I would work with daily. I also liked that not every day was the same; we traveled to a new place every day, and I got to work outside!”
“All of the team is very hardworking, welcoming, and fun to be around. It was a great atmosphere to be a part of and is the reason why I plan to come back next summer.”

Open Positions

PLM is always looking for motivated, dependable people to join our team, from seasonal field roles to full-time, year-round careers supporting aquatic and terrestrial management programs.
