Wildlife Biologist On-Call Southern and East-Central California (On-Call/Hourly)

Description Wildlife Biologist On-Call Southern and East-Central California Job Description The On-Call Biologist will be responsible for a range of environmental consulting services, including preconstruction field surveys, construction compliance monitoring, avian species identification and nest surveys, supporting general and focused biological field surveys, assisting with writing and reviewing biological reports and supporting documents such as Biological Technical Reports, Biological Assessments, technical memos, FRED database forms, and providing as-needed field and office support to our local and regional Natural Resource team members.

About the role

About On-Call Employment With ICF Given the seasonal or project-specific nature of our environmental compliance work, ICF often hires environmental professionals as "On-Call" employees. On-Call employees are scheduled for work hours as they become available (we usually schedule work hours a few weeks ahead of time, depending on client notifications), and each on-call employee is free to accept or refuse the hours assigned to them in a given week. On-Call employees may work concurrent projects outside of their ICF assignment (along as their outside work does not create a conflict of interest with the work they do for ICF).

Responsibilities

• Coordinate, plan and execute field assignments for southern and east-central California-based work.
• Conduct general and species-specific biological surveys and construction compliance monitoring pursuant to the relevant environmental commitments, laws, regulations, codes and/or industry standards.
• Document field findings in monitoring logs, reports, memos and email communications, as appropriate.
• Communicate routinely with client field contacts and ICF project managers and senior biologists.
• The on-call biologist must be able to travel to remote field sites in other counties, including but not limited to Los Angeles, Orange, Kern, San Bernadino, Riverside, Inyo, and San Diego Counties.

Requirements

• A BA/BS in Wildlife Biology, Botany, Ecology, or related discipline
• 2+ years of environmental/consulting and biological field experience.
