Wildlife Biologist On-Call Southern and East-Central California (On-Call/Hourly)
We are seeking an experienced Wildlife Biologist to provide on-call, hourly support for wildlife surveys, monitoring, environmental compliance, and resource management projects across Southern and East-Central California. Assignments may vary in duration and location and may involve working independently or as part of a multidisciplinary field team. The successful candidate will be comfortable responding to short-notice requests and working in remote, rugged, and changing field conditions.
Responsibilities may include conducting wildlife and habitat surveys; identifying birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and other sensitive species; documenting observations using established protocols; assisting with nesting bird, special-status species, and habitat assessments; monitoring construction or other field activities for compliance with environmental requirements; installing, checking, and maintaining wildlife detection equipment; collecting photographs, GPS points, and field data; and preparing clear field notes, daily reports, and technical summaries. The role may also involve communicating with project managers, agency representatives, contractors, landowners, and members of the public while maintaining a professional and safety-focused approach.
Applicants should have a degree in wildlife biology, ecology, natural resources, environmental science, or a related field, along with relevant professional or field experience. Strong species identification skills, familiarity with California wildlife and habitats, and the ability to accurately follow survey protocols are highly desirable. Candidates must be capable of hiking over uneven terrain, working in variable weather, carrying field equipment, and occasionally working early mornings, evenings, weekends, or overnight assignments. A valid driver’s licence, reliable transportation, safe driving record, and willingness to travel throughout the service area are required. Experience with GPS units, mobile data-collection platforms, mapping software, technical writing, or environmental permitting is an advantage. This hourly, on-call position offers flexible opportunities for qualified professionals who value field-based conservation work and can adapt quickly to changing project needs.
