About On-Call Employment with ICF

Given the seasonal or project-specific nature of our environmental work, ICF often hires environmental professionals as "On-Call" employees. On-Call employees are scheduled for work hours as they become available (we usually schedule work hours a few weeks ahead of time), and each on-call employee is free to accept or refuse the hours assigned to them in a given week. On-Call employees may work concurrent projects outside of their ICF assignment (along as their outside work does not create a conflict of interest with the work they do for ICF).

Requirements

A BA/BS in Biology, Ecology, or related discipline
2+ years of environmental/consulting and biological field experience
Must have valid driver's license and successfully pass a Motor Vehicles Records (MVR) check.

Preferred Skills

Basic documentation/data management experience

Geographic Information System (GIS) software skills
Intermediate or advanced nest surveying, active nest monitoring, and buffer establishment.
Basic botanical knowledge of central and southern California
Avian nest monitoring and species identification skills
Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment
Strong written and oral communication skills
Strong organizational skills
Ability to respond timely to deployment requests (i.e., sometimes next day)
Ability to travel to field sites in Southern California and occasionally assist with surveys in rugged, undeveloped terrain
Ability and experience conducting work in active construction sites and communicating with operators
