Job description

Are you ready to be a key player in the restoration of natural environments while operating top-of-the-line equipment? At RES, we're looking for a passionate and motivated Restoration Technician to join our team. In this hands-on role, you will have the unique opportunity to work outdoors, make a tangible impact on vital ecosystems, and operate a variety of specialized equipment-all while gaining valuable experience in the field of environmental restoration.

This is based out of our Albany, NY location.

The mission: Our Techs work on a variety of projects, including Stream restoration, Stormwater, Restoration planting, Invasive plant removal/management, and Landscape construction. The work is seasonally steady and will require over 50 hours per week. 

Why You'll Love This Job

  • You'll work outdoors in nature, helping restore real ecosystems

  • You'll learn to use specialized tools, equipment, and techniques

  • You'll work with a team that values safety, hard work, and environmental impact

  • You'll gain experience in planting, seeding, erosion control, and invasive species management

  • You'll be part of a team that is growing and making a difference in communities and landscapes

A Day in the Life

You'll spend 100% of your time in the field, operating equipment like large trucks, UTVs, brush cutters, augers, and chainsaws-don't worry, safety is always the top priority. You'll use GPS mapping systems to navigate and document your work, and you'll get hands-on experience with backpack and hand sprayers for herbicide application. Keeping everything running smoothly, you'll report any equipment maintenance needs and even perform some basic upkeep yourself.

If you love plants, you're in the right place. You'll be identifying native and invasive plant species and using that knowledge to guide your work. Mixing and applying herbicides to manage invasive species will be part of the job, and you'll play a key role in implementing an invasive species management program to restore balance to the ecosystem.

You'll also roll up your sleeves for planting and seeding projects, where your techniques will help bring restoration projects to life.

Lastly, if prescribed burns are part of your region's restoration practices, you'll have the chance to earn your S-130/190 Burn Certification and be involved in this important habitat management technique.

Please note that this is not an exhaustive list of your duties. 

Physical requirements:

You must be able to lift 50lbs, walk over uneven surfaces and up/down hills, climb on construction equipment and work outdoors and in inclement weather
