Do you want to make a difference? Are you interested in helping protect the global
environment for this generation and the generations to come?
If your answer to these questions is yes, come join our team and work for
the Environmental Protection Agency. 
EPA was born almost 33 years ago at a time when rivers caught fire and cities were hidden under dense clouds of smoke. Since then, our dedicated, committed team of professionals, in partnership with state agencies, tribal and local governments, non-profit organizations and individual citizens, have worked daily to improve our communities and enhance the quality of life in our nation. We have made remarkable progress, but our mission to protect public health and the environment is a mission without end.
EPA Region 8 employs approximately 800 people in three locations: a regional office in Denver,  a Montana operations office in Helena, and a regional laboratory in Golden, Colorado. Region 8 includes the states of Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming; and 27 Tribal Nations.
