Office Location: Mt. Shasta or in proximity to Iron Gate Dam (Ashland, Yreka, Klamath Falls)
Function Area: Program
Classification: Full-Time Exempt
Compensation: $66,560/yr. to 72,000/yr.
Position Summary: The removal of four Klamath River dams is a hugely significant event and is arguably the world’s largest river restoration project. For anadromous fish, habitat and ecological processes not available for over 100 years will be accessible. This project provides a critical learning opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of large-scale dam removal to restore anadromous fisheries and inform future dam removal and restoration efforts. California Trout and its partners are embarking on an ambitious and large-scale study to address the fundamental questions related to the effectiveness of dam removal as a restoration tool including how many fish return to newly opened habitats and where do they go.
California Trout seeks a motivated individual to play a central role in coordinating and implementing a large-scale scientific study on salmon response to dam removal. The Project Manager will lead a diverse multi-disciplinary team of researchers including tribes, state agencies, federal agencies, universities, and technical experts to develop and execute this comprehensive study. The team will be leveraging technologies such as SONAR, radio telemetry, environmental DNA, and other techniques to address study objectives. The findings from this project will build our understanding of dam removal, how fish repopulate newly opened habitats, adult salmon and steelhead population response to landscape level restoration, and act as a guide to focus future restoration efforts.
The Project Manager will join a highly motivated and experienced team committed to leading with science, improving water management, and restoring fish populations in the Klamath River. With an emphasis on the Klamath River and CalTrout’s Dams Out Campaign, this position offers an exciting opportunity to develop and implement science and monitoring projects to evaluate the effectiveness of the world’s largest river restoration project and to shape approaches for future dam removals. The successful candidate will have strong project management skills, data quality control and analysis skills, excellent written and oral communication skills, and a demonstrated ability to work with a diverse set of regional partners including tribes, state and federal agencies and universities.
Roles & Responsibilities: This position will coordinate a team responsible for implementing complex environmental assessments designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Klamath Dam removal. The primary study components include execution of a SONAR fish counting station and a radio telemetry study. Primary responsibilities include the following:
The Project Manager should demonstrate competence and dedication to CalTrout’s mission, initiatives, and conservation issues. This primarily includes science and monitoring, watershed and fisheries habitat restoration and conservation, recovery and protection of endangered species, and protection of water resources and their beneficial uses. This role requires a high-level understanding of executing environmental studies, resource management, and resource agencies and their mandates. The Project Manager is expected to work independently, using professional knowledge and judgment in ensuring that duties and responsibilities are carried out in a timely manner and that policy, and procedures are followed, but also be able to work collaboratively as part of a team with diverse backgrounds and interests.
Requirements & Qualifications
