WRA’s Compliance Monitoring Team supports our clients by helping to implement their permits through surveys, compliance monitoring, and fulfilling reporting requirements. We are looking to expand our compliance monitoring team by bringing on seasonal Project Biologists who have experience with the special status species and environments of California. We will review applicants on a rolling basis as project volume and demand increases. We are currently prioritizing projects in the Santa Rosa, San Rafael, and greater Bay Area, though we have ongoing projects throughout northern California.
This position is a seasonal part time role for project based work. WRA may not always have projects for you to work on, either due to project availability or specialization required. Additionally, you are under no obligation to accept the work we offer you. Applicants with hands-on experience with special-status species in California (e.g. California tiger salamander, California red-legged frog, (north)western pond turtle, and salt-marsh harvest mouse) will be prioritized in the application process.
Compensation: $25-43 per hour depending on experience, with overtime as per CA labor laws.
