Field Crew Member

Field Crew Member – Full-Time Seasonal

Northern Ecological Services is a full-service restoration and land management company based in Esko, MN. As people who both work and play outdoors, we are keenly aware that restoring and protecting our finite natural resources is of the utmost importance. We are proud to do our part and contribute towards this important effort.

Our work includes project design, consultation, installation, and project maintenance for customers that are a mix of public agencies, businesses, and private landowners. Projects range from residential landscapes and solar gardens to larger stream restoration and wetland management.

Our field crew works in:

• Native plant landscaping and pollinator habitat creation
• Reforestation and wetland mitigation
• Ecological restoration and erosion control
• Invasive species management

Job responsibilities include:

• Seeding and planting native species
• Installing erosion control materials
• Herbicide application
• The use of hand tools and small power equipment
• Driving company vehicles

Work can involve heavy lifting and working on difficult terrain in and near water. Field work is weather dependent but be aware that we still work outdoors in adverse conditions. The ability to work independently and as a team is important.

We’re looking for self-motivated individuals to join our crew this spring. Typical work hours are 7am-5pm Monday-Friday and vary based on the project and time of year. As a seasonal position, work typically begins around early May and runs into December and possibly later. Some overnight travel with paid accommodations is expected.

Base hourly wage is $17-$20/hr based on experience. Experience in landscaping, natural resources, or restoration is preferred, but not required.

Please send us your resume and a short email or cover letter explaining your relevant experience and why you’re interested in the position.
