  • Conduct pre-construction surveys and ongoing compliance monitoring
  • Implement avoidance and minimization measures (WEAPs, ESAs, buffers, exclusion zones)
  • Monitor and maintain wildlife exclusion fencing
  • Collect and manage field data using GPS and mobile applications (e.g., ArcGIS Field Maps, Fulcrum)
  • Prepare accurate daily logs, reports, and compliance documentation
  • Coordinate directly with construction crews, project managers, and environmental staff

  • DB or GBM authorization
  • Experience working on large-scale infrastructure or transportation projects
  • Familiarity with Central Valley and Inland Empire habitats and species
