The Wildlife Technician will work within the Nongame Wildlife Program under the supervision of the Regional Nongame Wildlife Biologist. This position plays an important role in supporting and in some cases leading survey and inventory, monitoring, research, and management efforts for Species of Greatest Conservation Need and other nongame wildlife.

Field work will be diverse and may include work on birds, bats, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. Most field work will occur within the assigned region, with occasional participation in multi-region projects. This is a field-based position, with a majority of office work occurring during the winter months. Technicians must be willing and able to travel and spend extended periods away from home throughout spring and summer field seasons, with less frequent but occasional travel during the winter months.  Technicians are expected to work independently, in small teams with other regional nongame technicians and/or interns, and with other groups and agencies.  Field work may be in rugged environments, in inclement weather, and in areas with large carnivores (e.g., grizzly bears, mountain lions) and moose.

Additional Information

These are dynamic positions with lots of variety (of species, survey methods, and habitat types) and potential to interact with other FWP agency professionals.  The candidate will represent the agency alongside other agency partners, and therefore this position requires professionalism, self-motivation, and a commitment to wildlife conservation. The Wildlife Technician plays a key role in advancing the mission of the Nongame Wildlife Program by supporting research, monitoring, and management of nongame wildlife species across the state.
