The primary role of the Restoration Project Coordinator & Fisheries Biologist will be to coordinate sediment reduction and stream restoration projects, ensure adherence to protocols and schedules, develop monitoring guidelines including measuring the success of a variety of stream restoration projects, and to expand capacity for additional project work within the organization. This position involves extensive communication and coordination with CFC staff, subcontractors and collaborators, and cultivators, and with funding organizations and agencies. The Project Coordinator aspect of this position will conduct and coordinate day-to-day tasks required to plan and execute restoration projects, monitoring and reporting on restoration project status and deliverables, coordinating scheduling, and conducting site visits to collect and inform documentation. This position will require extensive planning and permitting, technical reporting, and field work during the field season.

The Fisheries Biologist aspect of the position will conduct surveys for salmonids and other native fish for project-related work as needed. This position will play a key role in ensuring project activities achieve habitat restoration goals consistent with the needs of target species and agency standards. This position will also monitor watercourses adjacent to and within the construction and restoration areas to ensure that project activities are not producing sediment or other pollutants that degrade water quality. These watercourses include ephemeral, intermittent, and perennial watercourses so the ideal candidate will be familiar with appropriate timing and monitoring metrics for a variety of watercourse sizes and types and will be familiar habitat indicators and important metrics for quantifying aquatic ecosystem health and restoration success. This position will work closely with other on-staff biologists, project-specific Technical Advisory Committees (TAC), the Project Director, Construction Administrators, and restoration subcontractors to determine and implement appropriate actions to protect aquatic habitat and species during the implementation phase, and to ensure that post-work monitoring protocols accurately quantify impacts on aquatic species.
