We are actively searching for a junior-level Biologist with 1-3 years of experience to join our Sonoma County based team. This opportunity will be exciting for someone who already has some hands-on experience with fieldwork, preferably with plant and wildlife surveys, wetland delineations, nesting bird surveys, and biological monitoring and enjoys being part of a collaborative team. If you’re looking for a chance to work with a seasoned team of biologists that can help you grow your skills across a variety of market segments, we’d love to chat.
The person hired for this role will be assigned to projects based in the North Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area. Field work is a large part of the responsibilities of this person, so having a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation to commute to various job sites is a requirement.
