In the context of jobs, 'raptor' typically refers to professionals who work with birds of prey, such as falcons, hawks, eagles, and owls. These individuals may be called raptor handlers, falconers, or wildlife rehabilitators, and their responsibilities include caring for, training, rehabilitating, or educating the public about raptors. They may work in wildlife centers, zoos, conservation organizations, or research institutions. Their work is important for the conservation of these species and for raising awareness about their ecological roles.

Wildlife raptor rehabilitators frequently encounter challenges such as handling injured or stressed birds of prey, ensuring their safe recovery, and maintaining compliance with legal and ethical standards. The work can be physically demanding, often requiring long or irregular hours, and involves close collaboration with veterinarians, volunteers, and regulatory agencies. Applicants can prepare by gaining experience with animal handling, studying common raptor injuries and treatments, and familiarizing themselves with relevant federal and state wildlife regulations.

Job description

We made history and now we work to transform the future - for our customers, our communities and our families. You'll see your work on the road every day, helping people move freely and pursue their dreams. At Ford, you can build more than vehicles. Come build what matters.

Racing is where our story began.

In 1901, Henry Ford climbed into a car he built himself-"Sweepstakes"-and beat America's most famous driver. He wasn't a racer, but he had to win. He did. Ford Motor Company was born from that victory.

That fighting spirit lives on in Ford Racing today. We're the engineers, strategists, and competitors who bring Ford's track-tested edge into every vehicle we build. Every track, every stage, every proving ground-that's where we prove ourselves.

The result: one of the world's most iconic brands, legendary nameplates, and a team unmatched in the industry.

Our mantra: Race to win, engineer to lead.

If you're a competitor, innovator, or performance obsessive, Ford Racing is where you belong. Help us write the next chapter.

You may not check every box, or your experience may look a little different from what we've outlined, but if you think you can bring value to Ford Motor Company, we encourage you to apply!

As an established global company, we offer the benefit of choice. You can choose what your Ford future will look like: will your story span the globe, or keep you close to home? Will your career be a deep dive into what you love, or a series of new teams and new skills? Will you be a leader, a changemaker, a technical expert, a culture builder...or all of the above? No matter what you choose, we offer a work life that works for you, including:

  • Immediate medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage
  • Flexible family care days, paid parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care and more
