4 weeks ago

Squamish, Canada British Columbia Conservation Foundation Full time
The BC Conservation Foundation (BCCF) is seeking three field technicians for work on the Northern Spotted Owl Field Inventory and Reestablishment Program. These positions will assist Provincial Government and BCCF staff with placement and retrieval of Acoustic Recording Units (ARUs) and data for the detection and monitoring of Spotted and Barred Owls throughout the Northern Spotted Owl range within BC. Pay rate $22/hr. Allowances of $60.61 per field day for food and $20 per field day for gear are provided.

This position is based out of Squamish, BC and applicants are fully responsible for any relocation and accommodation required to be available in that area. Please outline your ability to be based out of Squamish or the surrounding area (Pemberton, Whistler, North Vancouver, Surrey, Langley, Chilliwack, Hope, etc.) in your application. Preference is given to local applicants.

Duties Include:

1. Call play-back inventories and ARU (Autonomous Recording Units) placement and retrieval for both Spotted and Barred Owls conducted in forests across the range of the Northern Spotted Owl.
2. ARU deployment and data retrieval is done during the day.
3. Capture/Banding/Radio-Telemetry: The position may require capture of Barred Owls and Spotted Owls. Any captured Spotted and Barred Owls are fitted with a USFW metal lock band as well as color bands for future ID. Currently, backpack-style radios and/or GPS beacons are attached to captured Spotted and Barred Owls. Hands-on training in banding and backing will be provided if necessary. Spotted Owls with very high frequency (VHF) radio tags will be tracked for checks on the individual. Tracking involves off-trail hiking to find the individual using the wildlife radio telemetry signal sent by the VHF radio.
4. Field Work: Field shifts typically last 9-10 days and require camping at field sites. Stipend for gear and food is provided for all field days. Day work and night work may occur within the same 9-10 day field shift.
5. Work will begin in early April through to the end of October.

- Applicants must be willing to work a varied schedule that includes evening shifts and be available to work 7 days a week (10 day shift Tuesday – Thursday of the following week).
- Applicants must possess a valid driver's license.
