Invasive Species Strike Team Technician, Catskill Center for Conservation and Development

We are seeking 4-5 motivated and reliable Invasive Species Strike Team Technicians to join us in controlling invasive species throughout the Catskills this season: Two Aquatic Strike Team Technicians and 2-3 Terrestrial Strike Team Technicians. These seasonal Technicians are anticipated to work 37.5 hours/week for 14-18 weeks, beginning mid-May. The Terrestrial Strike Team will focus control efforts on terrestrial plants and animals. The Aquatic Strike Team will focus efforts in and around lakes, rivers, and streams, working from boats or shore in waders or similar gear. All equipment is supplied, but Strike Teams may need to transport equipment and gear to field sites, including kayaks, as appropriate. Training is provided. The Aquatic Strike Team will be supervised by the CRISP Aquatic Invasive Species Manager, and the Terrestrial Strike Team will be supervised by the CRISP Terrestrial Invasive Species Manager. All Strike Team Technicians will be based in Arkville, NY, where they will complete some office work. However, most days the Technicians will be outdoors in remote environments with minimal facilities available. Frequent travel throughout the Catskills region will be required. Technicians may have the option to stay overnight at some management sites.
