About On-Call Employment with ICF
Given the seasonal or project-specific nature of our environmental 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), 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).
What You Will Do

• Independently and collaboratively perform field surveys for special-status species, natural communities and habitats. Field surveys may include walking transects, walking and mapping habitat boundaries, trapping or collecting specimens, visually identifying animals.
• Independently perform environmental compliance monitoring at construction sites (including preconstruction clearance surveys and environmental awareness training), coordinating with construction crews, and being responsive to ever-changing schedules.
• Evaluate project plans in coordination with the task lead for determining potential impacts on special-status species and other biological resources.
• Prepare daily field notes summarizing field survey results and monitoring responsibilities.

What You Will Need

• Bachelor's Degree in Biological Sciences, Environmental Science, or other related field of study.
• 3+ years of experience with biological monitoring, construction monitoring, field surveys for special-status species and natural communities and habitats in Northern California.
• Must have valid driver's license and successfully pass a Motor Vehicle Records (MVR) check.

What We'd Like You to Have

• Experience conducting surveys for Northern CA special-status wildlife species including mammals, giant garter snake, California tiger salamander, California red-legged frog, and/or foothill yellow-legged frog.
• Nesting bird/rail/raptor survey experience.
• Experience with monitoring construction crews and overseeing environmental compliance.
• Proficiency with data entry and formatting.
• Proficiency in use of Microsoft Word and Excel.
• Proficiency in use of GPS technology for navigation and data collection in the field.

This is an outstanding opportunity to work with talented and passionate individuals and to grow with a firm that believes in nurturing talent and developing long-term career success.
