Job Description:Turnstone is currently hiring Crew leaders to coordinate small crews (4-8 individuals) to conduct surveys for the marbled murrelet, a threatened species of seabird that nests primarily in coastal old growth forests. Surveys will be on federal, state and private lands in Oregon. Marbled murrelet surveys follow a strict protocol, and surveyors will often be required to work odd hours of day and night, hike in the dark (sometimes long distances), endure inclement weather, and navigate forest terrain. These positions are considered full time seasonal. Housing is generally provided depending on the project, camping may sometimes be necessary but is not anticipated. Crews will be stationed in several coastal communities in western Oregon, a choice of work stations may be available to those who apply early. Survey positions begin in mid April and run through August 5, with the possibility of an earlier start date and/or extension depending on project needs. Opportunities to work on other projects after the end of the murrelet season may be available for the excellent employee. |
