Status: Part-Time; Non-Exempt
Reports to: Restoration Specialist (Brianna Mann)
Salary: $20 – $25/hour depending on experience (+ overtime)
BCI and our Mission
Bat Conservation International (BCI), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to ending bat extinctions worldwide, seeks two to five Restoration Field Technicians to join BCI’s Conservation Department. The Restoration Field Technician will work as part of the Restoration Team in the Habitat Protection & Restoration Program (HP&R).
Primary Responsibilities and Expectations
This position is open to a highly motivated individual willing and able to conduct fieldwork safely and efficiently in a variety of environments. The successful candidate will perform a variety of conservation/restoration activities for HP&R that benefit bats and other wildlife. These tasks include but are not limited to fence construction, pond/tank development and improvement, erosion control, native vegetation planting including agave planting, eDNA collection, and seed collection, acoustic detector installation/management, use of hand/power tools, invasive vegetation removal and control, working in proximity to heavy equipment, participating in program certification and training, planning projects, writing reports, managing data, and conducting training exercises. Extensive travel, primarily in the western United States, will be required, with much of the work being conducted in rough topography in remote areas with limited access. Camping will sometimes be necessary at field sites (gear is available upon request). Additionally, this position may assist other teams within HP&R. These duties may include subterranean biological surveys, geospatial analysis, cultural surveys, and environmental compliance.
Work Schedule:
This is a part-time, intermittent position that will work on an as-needed basis. Scheduling for field trips is ideally done with 3 months advance notice but often is limited to 1-month advance notice. Field projects may require multi-day travel within the United States with fieldwork trips of 1-2 weeks in duration. Field sessions typically last five weekdays, including paid travel days, though some projects may last longer and may include working weekends. Travel and fieldwork days range from 8–12 working hours, sometimes more. Overnight lodging will usually be provided in hotel rooms or shared house rentals, with private bedrooms for each team member. Some projects may require overnight camping; BCI will provide basic camping equipment (tent, sleeping bag and pad, stove, etc.) as needed. Office work, when available, is flexible and will occur remotely from a home office. The use of a computer will sometimes be necessary to complete office work (a computer can be available upon request). Dependent on fieldwork, data management, and reporting needs, work schedules will vary from 1 week per month up to 4 weeks per month.
Please note that BCI provides housing accommodations for fieldwork only and does not offer additional housing.
