Scientist III (CTS / RLF Expert - Ecologist)
for each section, and - for lists,
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep specifics like numbers, names of equipment, etc.
Let's craft.
About the role: combine first paragraph(s) up to "We are seeking an experienced and dynamic Ecologist ready for a new challenge." Actually that's part of role description. We'll include that.
Responsibilities: list bullet points.
We need to ensure we don't duplicate content across sections. We'll try to allocate.
Let's extract:
About the role prose:
"At RES, we're looking for purpose-driven individuals who are passionate about restoration and sustainability, and who want their work to make a lasting environmental impact. Our team members go above and beyond, bringing initiative, integrity, and a strong work ethic to every project. Collaboration is key—we thrive on teamwork, open communication, and diverse perspectives. In a field that constantly changes, we value those who are resilient, adaptable, and resourceful in the face of challenges. If you're intellectually curious, eager to learn, and ready to help restore ecosystems and protect natural resources, you'll find your place here. We are seeking an experienced and dynamic Ecologist ready for a new challenge. As a Scientist III at RES, you will bring your scientific expertise, field leadership, and mentoring skills to support complex ecological restoration projects. You will also oversee the monitoring and maintenance of multiple conservation and mitigation banks across the West Coast, including sites that support federally and state-listed threatened and endangered plant and wildlife species."
That seems good.
Responsibilities: The detailed duties after that: "The ideal candidate will have a strong technical and writing background, a solid understanding of California's regulatory environment, and proven experience in field activities such as rare plant and wildlife surveys and wetland delineations." That's more requirement. But we can keep responsibilities as the day-to-day tasks described later.
Let's list responsibilities from "What your day-to-day might look like:" and earlier "You'll lead, train, and mentor field teams..." etc.
Responsibilities bullet list:
- Lead and train field teams in sampling protocols, safety procedures, and data collection, ensuring high-quality outcomes and adherence to safety standards.
- Operate and maintain scientific equipment (e.g., YSI multimeters, turbidimeters, GPS) to ensure accurate and reliable field data collection.
- Review and interpret technical documentation such as standard operating procedures, monitoring plans, maps, and laboratory results.
- Collect, manage, and analyze large datasets, applying rigorous quality control to ensure accuracy and reliability.
- Write advanced technical reports with minimal revisions required, while mentoring junior staff in data analysis and report preparation.
- Evaluate sites to identify regulatory and technical requirements, perform risk analyses, and provide insights that inform project strategies.
- Contribute to project design discussions, sequencing, and scheduling of field activities.
- Communicate directly with clients, summarizing project needs and providing timely status updates.
- Engage with local and regional professional associations, with opportunities to lead, present, and publish work as a recognized expert.
- Oversee monitoring and maintenance of multiple conservation and mitigation banks across the West Coast, including sites supporting federally and state-listed threatened and endangered plant and wildlife species.
- Work closely with field staff, project managers, regulatory teams, and operations personnel to support restoration and monitoring efforts.
- Adapt to dynamic work environment where schedules, site locations, and tasks can shift based on project needs.
- During spring survey season, conduct field data collection spanning several consecutive weeks and support projects in other states as needed.
That covers.
Requirements: from "We would like to talk to you if you have many of the following:" list.
- Bachelor's degree in natural or physical sciences (required); an advanced degree is preferred.
- 5+ years of relevant experience, or 3+ years with an advanced degree.
- Advanced knowledge in at least one scientific discipline (e.g., ecology, conservation, hydrology, flora/fauna).
- Intermediate knowledge across several related disciplines.
- Experience with scientific analysis software.
- Proficiency in functional assessment methodologies and calculations.
- Hands-on field experience with equipment such as YSI multimeters, turbidimeters, and GPS.
Also maybe "An ideal candidate would hold a Section 10(a)(1)(A) permit under the Endangered Species Act for California tiger salamander and/or California red-legged frog". That could be a requirement but also a standout. We'll put in Requirements as well.
Qualifications: maybe the "What will make you stand out:" list.
- Section 10(a)(1)(A) permit under the Endangered Species Act for California tiger salamander and/or California red-legged frog.
- Professional certifications such as CRAM, Wetland Delineation Certification, Washington Wetland Rating System, SWAMP, or CERP.
- FAA Drone Pilot certification.
- Comfortable operating UTVs, boats, and towing trailers.
- Demonstrated involvement in professional associations — especially in leadership roles or through contributions to publications or presentations.
- Experience mentoring junior staff or training field teams on technical methods.
Skills: from "You Will Thrive in This Role If You:" list.
- Communicate complex ideas clearly and concisely to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Enjoy problem-solving in dynamic environments and can independently evaluate site conditions and risks.
- Balance scientific rigor with practical project needs, contributing to designs and field sequencing.
- Take pride in delivering high-quality, client-ready reports with minimal revisions.
Pay: include the range.
Schedule: include the onsite expectation, travel, overnight stays, spring survey season.
