Jersey Girl, a regular on Ron Stamet's remarkably constructive information-sharing web site, The Natural Gas Forums, recently dug out some interesting drilling-oversight-related hiring notices posted by New York State's Department of Environmental Conservation.
Her post, and the still-building discussion afterwards, are here. Interested job-seekers — and Squinty-Eyed Diviners of New York's Frack-Related Tea Leaves — can more directly get their hands on the original information here.
(Application deadline is kinda tight, so better get cracking.)
It's true, these openings are something. But they don't yet amount to hundreds of new Minerals Division staffers, as has been forecast over and over again by Upstate media.
As for what that all might mean, I will be putting together a separate post — touching on the understated reality that New York State's long-supposed Shale Gas Drilling Boom is really going to turn out to be more of a Slow-Motion Boomlet.
Meanwhile, though — check it out — here are trimmed-down summaries zeroing in on some of the more notable job openings from the DEC:
