On-Call Biologist

Loading... On-Call Biologist Save Job Blackhawk Environmental, Inc. San Diego, California Facebook Email Copy URL Job Type Permanent Salary Commensurate with experience Min. Experience 0•1 year Save Job Facebook Email Copy URL Blackhawk Environmental, Inc. is now hiring qualified on-call biologists to join our growing team. Successful candidates can expect to support a variety of projects involving biological construction monitoring, nesting bird surveys, special-status species surveys, habitat assessments, aquatic resource assessments, environmental compliance monitoring, biological reconnaissance surveys, and related natural resource field investigations. Prior experience conducting biological monitoring and surveys within active construction environments is highly desirable. On-call biologists will augment our current full-time and on-call staff by providing additional support when and where needed, primarily throughout San Diego County, but potentially elsewhere in Southern California. As such, successful candidates must possess flexibility, adaptability, internal motivation, patience, sound judgment, and the ability to thrive in dynamic environments with changing project needs, schedules, and field conditions. Anticipated responsibilities consist primarily of conducting biological field work before, during, and after construction activities; this is not primarily an office-based position. However, depending on project needs and the unique qualifications of successful candidates, additional responsibilities may include assisting with or preparing technical reports, environmental data collection and management, QA/QC review, GIS and desktop constraints analyses, permit compliance documentation, and other project deliverables. All work will be directed by Blackhawk management, who will provide the tools, background information, training, and project-specific guidance necessary to support your success in the field and on assigned tasks. Work hours may vary from week to week based on project needs and can range from occasional assignments to full-time workloads depending on season and project demands. Education, Experience & Other Variables Required Bachelor's or advanced degree in biological sciences, ecology, botany, wildlife conservation, natural resources, environmental sciences, or a related field An understanding of the primary Federal and California environmental regulations and statutes (CEQA/NEPA, Endangered Species Acts, Migratory Bird Treaty Act, Fish and Game Code, Clean Water Act, etc.) Excellent organizational and interpersonal communication skills Physical fitness The ability to balance natural resource protection with project objectives while maintaining compliance with applicable environmental laws Must reside within reasonable driving distance of San Diego County project sites Desired Experience conducting biological construction monitoring, nesting bird surveys, special-status species surveys, habitat assessments, aquatic resource assessments, and biological reconnaissance surveys in San Diego County and/or southern California Experience completing biological reports, monitoring logs, technical memoranda, CEQA support documentation, and QA/QC reviews Experience coordinating with project managers, construction personnel, regulatory agencies, clients, and other project stakeholders. Responsiveness, flexible scheduling, and weekend availability Experience with GIS, ArcGIS Field Maps, GPS equipment, environmental data collection platforms, or related technologies State/Federal wildlife/plant species permits, including Scientific Collecting Permit Personal 4WD vehicle suitable for fieldwork excursions is preferred About us/the job While this position is initially structured as an on-call role, successful candidates who demonstrate strong performance, reliability, and a good fit with our team may be considered for expanded responsibilities and future full-time opportunities as company needs evolve. We've worked with hundreds of outstanding biologists over the years, and we actively maintain a resume database. We offer our employees competitive pay commensurate with experience level, skillset, education, permits, and other variables along with a 401k retirement plan. Knowing that your happiness with us makes you a better employee to represent Blackhawk Environmental in the field, we strive to make things right for you right away, and to make them better as you grow with us, so apply today! How To Apply To apply, send your current resume or curriculum vitae to nikki@blackhawkenv.com for hiring consideration, along with a simple cover letter or e-mail message detailing your interest to work with us. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis and the position will remain open until filled. When you apply, please indicate that you are responding to the posting on Conservation Job Board.
