Familiarity with GIS mapping tools, GPS devices, and pesticide application certifications are commonly required.

These competencies ensure accurate data collection, safe and effective invasive species control, and successful collaboration to protect ecosystems.

Workers in these roles may participate in activities like surveying land, identifying invasive species, applying treatments, and restoring habitats. These positions are often seasonal and can be found with government agencies, conservation organizations, or private environmental firms. The primary goal is to protect native species and maintain ecological balance. Depending on the employer, training and safety protocols are typically provided.

What are some common challenges faced in a temporary invasive species management role, and how can I prepare for them?

In a temporary invasive species management position, you may encounter challenges such as working in varying weather conditions, navigating difficult terrain, and quickly adapting to new protocols or equipment. Effective communication with team members is essential, as many tasks require coordinated efforts for field surveys, data collection, and species removal. Preparing through physical fitness, learning regional plant and animal identification, and familiarizing yourself with best practices for environmental safety will help you succeed in this dynamic and impactful role.

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

We would love to talk to you if you have many of the following

  • High School degree or equivalent.
  • Reliable means of transportation to get to the field office.
  • Keen interest in natural resources and outdoors.

What will make you stand out?

  • 1+ years of work in ecological restoration.
  • Ability to read and understand the project plans, details, and specifications.
  • Commercial Pesticide Technician/Apprentice License in the applicable categories for your assigned state.
  • Native and invasive plant species knowledge, applicable to your assigned state.
