Seasonal Field Technician; Syracuse, NY

EDR is seeking versatile, team-oriented seasonal candidates to join our Environmental Services group. Seasonal Field Technicians will have an academic background and/or limited experience in wetland/stream delineations and other relevant natural resource topics such as plant and avian identification. The successful candidate must be comfortable outside in all weather conditions, be willing to put in long days during the field season, and be capable of carrying typical field equipment.

Requires an ability to identify the common plant species found throughout the northeastern and/or midwestern United States and experience with GPS and data collection. Report writing ability, while not required, is a plus. Preference will be given to candidates with the ability to demonstrate strong office skills such as teamwork, problem-solving skills, and an understanding of environmental regulations. Requires a minimum associate or bachelor’s degree in environmental science, natural resources, biology, ecology, or related field.

This role would be an hourly position dependent on available workload through the end of the growing season in the Northeastern or Midwestern United States, based out of an EDR office in New York, Pennsylvania, or Ohio.

This position requires:

• Academic exposure to, and/or limited experience in wetland delineation, plant identification, and avian identification.
• Associate or bachelor’s degree in environmental science, natural resources, biology, ecology, or related field.
• The ability to travel for up to a week at a time, sometimes with consecutive weeks of work on a remote site.

The anticipated seasonal base pay is determined at an hourly rate range of $21.63 to $26.44 and is commensurate with experience. EDR reserves the right to pay outside of the target range based on an individual’s education, credentials, skill level and relevant experience, as well as internal pay equity, geographic location, and business needs.

The anticipated length of this seasonal opportunity is approximately April/May through November. In some cases, there is a possibility the role could be extended beyond this range.

Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis. No sponsorship is available for this position.
