The Montana Department of Environmental Quality is looking to fill a Program Support Specialist position in Helena, according to a state job listing posted this week. The role is based at DEQ's Helena offices and falls under the department that oversees air quality, water permitting, hazardous waste cleanup, and a range of other environmental programs that directly affect Lewis and Clark County residents.

Program support roles at DEQ typically involve administrative coordination, records management, and assisting technical staff with permitting and compliance work. The position is part of a state agency that has been managing a heavy workload in recent years, with permitting activity tied to energy development, municipal water systems, and brownfield cleanup sites around the state.

Helena has long been home to a concentration of state government jobs, and DEQ positions are among the more sought-after — offering state benefits and work tied directly to Montana's land, air, and water. Interested applicants can find full details including salary range and application deadlines on the State of Montana careers portal.
