Fish Tech

Summary of what we are looking for in our next team member.

We are growing and need to add another fish tech to our electrofishing team. You need to have had some experience EF’ing–preferably on a boat.  We will take backpack experience, too.  Correctly and quickly identifying freshwater North Georgia fish is a must.

After every good EF job comes a report–so report writing comes along with this opportunity.

Driving a truck along with hauling a boat-and backing up to the lake are things we do everyday.  Need experience doing these safely.

 We also help other departments when it is time for a fish run, liming, doing a habitat install or wherever help is needed. Bring your team player attitude.

We work outside, in all kinds of weather, in/out/around the water and love to fish (and hunt).  Want to work with like minded co-workers?  Keep reading for more details or just send your resume to [email protected]

The job is based out of Ball Ground, GA (North Georgia) and you would need to be at work by 7am everyday.  Please keep that in mind if you are applying from out of the area. The job starts ASAP.  If you are available later in the year, check back with us then for our hiring needs.
