The Plumas Audubon Society is accepting applications for 1 GIS/field data manager position that starts May 23 and goes through August 15. Applicants need to have some practical experience with GIS and be detail orientated. This position involves managing field data from Northern Goshawk, Spotted Owl, Flammulated Owl, Aechmophorus grebe, and amphibian surveys that we conduct on the Plumas National Forest in northern CA. This is a unique position because the data manager will also assist with field surveys so that they have an intimate knowledge of the survey areas and methods. The survey areas are extremely steep and rugged with many hazards routinely encountered including rattlesnakes, steep hillsides, poison oak, illegal marijuana farms, and high temperatures all in remote locations with limited cell service. The successful candidate will be very motivated to challenge their physical ability and engage in a unique adventure. The position involves some camping so camping gear is required. Field vehicles are provided, but the GIS/data manager needs to provide their own transportation to the office in Quincy each day. Compensation is $13- 15/hour DOE and the GIS/data manager works a regular work week (Mon-Fri) consisting of five 8-hour days each week mostly in the office. Please send a cover letter and resume to David Arsenault ([email protected]). The successful candidate will be selected by March 15, 2016 and applications will be reviewed as they are received.
