Western Snowy Plover Conservation Technician
$23.15 per hourPoint Blue
WESTERN SNOWY PLOVER CONSERVATION TECHNICIAN
Location: Monterey Bay area, CA (Housing not provided)
Duration: 5 months; March, 2027- early August, 2027
Position Type: Full Time (40 hours/week), Seasonal Technician
Deadline to Apply: December 15th, 2026
Compensation: The technician will be paid $23.15 per hour (rate subject to change due to 2027 salary projections). Benefits are limited to up to 40 hours of paid sick time. Any use of a personal vehicle for field work will be reimbursed at the current federal mileage rate. Preferred applicants will live in the Monterey Bay/Monterey/Santa Cruz area. Binoculars and scope will be provided for the field season. Housing is not provided, nor is a living stipend or field vehicle.
Position Description: The Western Snowy Plover Conservation Technician will be an employee of Point Blue Conservation Science and part of a five-person Point Blue team. The Technician will also participate in a multi-agency management team that works collaboratively to achieve snowy plover conservation outcomes. The collaborative team includes staff from Point Blue Conservation Science, CA State Parks (Santa Cruz and Monterey Districts), US Fish and Wildlife Service (Salinas River National Wildlife Refuge and Ventura Field Office), and US Department of Agriculture, Wildlife Services. The Technician will participate in field monitoring of breeding snowy plovers (70%), entering and managing snowy plover data (20%), implementing snowy plover habitat protections and other management actions (5%), and participating in collaborative team meetings (5%). Field work takes place on beaches and managed coastal ponds and entails using optics (binoculars and scope) for conducting color band resighting, behavioral observations, and nest monitoring. The technician will interact with the public to provide information on snowy plover habitat protections and conservation threats.
The Technician will work a total of 5 months (~800 hours) between March-early August of 2027. A start date in early March is preferred but could be as late as March 15th.
We are committed to removing barriers based on racial, gender, cultural, and other factors and believe that equal representation is essential to the success of Point Blue's mission and vision. We seek and strongly encourage applicants from all backgrounds to join our teams.
Qualifications: Desired applicants will have a strong interest in birds and conservation. Applicants must be able to perceive and differentiate colors accurately, as reading color bands is a key piece of field work. The ability to traverse long distances through sandy and uneven terrain is necessary; a typical field day involves hiking several miles on dry sand. The Technician must be willing to interact with the public, able to work alone (after a training period), as well as work with others from the Point Blue team and collaborators. Preference may be given to applicants with previous experience with field work, scientific data collection, and/or working with birds. Applicants will need a valid driver's license, a personal vehicle, and current proof of insurance; Point Blue will conduct a motor vehicle report for insurance purposes, after hiring. Since housing is not provided, applicants who are currently living in the Monterey Bay area of California are preferred.
If you have issues with the application process, please contact View email address on us.fitly.work.
