Job description
Credit Valley Conservation is one of Ontario’s 36 conservation authorities dedicated to protecting, restoring and enhancing our local natural environment. We care for the Credit River, its streams and tributaries from the headwaters in Orangeville to the shores of Lake Ontario in Mississauga. We are scientists, engineers, researchers, educators, environmentalists, stewards, planners, foresters, recreation experts and much more. We create connections between people and nature, knowledge and action. We inspire appreciation for the role of nature in keeping people connected, healthy and happy. We’re leaders and explorers. We are professional and we’re inspired. We know our stuff, and we work every day to make a difference.
You want to be part of an organization with an environmental goal. You get up every day and go to work with purpose. You accept that you may not change the world, but you’ll try to make an impact in your corner. You like to partner with skilled people across many professions. It’s as natural for you think about the outdoors as it is to think out of the box. You’re passionate, responsible and approachable. You do what’s right, not just what’s easy. You care, and it shows.
We offer competitive public sector pay. We’re members of the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System - OMERS pension fund. We find time to have fun and celebrate successes. You’ll know your co-workers by name and will make fast friends. You’ll like being at work.
Reporting to the Natural Heritage Inventory Specialist, you will be a supporting member of a two-person field crew that spends most days of the field season (June through September) conducting biological inventories of breeding birds, bats (road-based acoustic inventories), vegetation communities using Ecological Land Classification (ELC) and flora in natural areas throughout the Credit River watershed. The inventories are conducted on public and private lands, most is off-trail and a wide variety of field conditions are encountered. Database entry of field data, and support to analysis and reporting functions are additional office-based components of this position.
We are looking for someone who is keen to expand their foundation species identification skills and their experience with ELC. This position offers an excellent opportunity to work closely with our flora and fauna experts and to learn about the watershed’s species in depth. Our Natural Heritage Inventory team does extensive work in ELC and as a part of our team, you will gain valuable experience in its application, building on the foundation you have gained in the classroom.
