BCI and our Mission
Bat Conservation International (BCI), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to ending bat extinctions worldwide, seeks three (3) part-time Restoration Field Technicians to join BCI’s Conservation Department. The Restoration Field Technician will work as part of the Restoration Team in the Habitat Protection & Restoration Program (HP&R).
This is a part-time, intermittent position that will work on an as-needed basis. Scheduling for field trips is ideally done with 3 months advance notice but often is limited to 1-month advance notice. Field projects may require multi-day travel within the United States with field work trips of 1-2 weeks in duration. Field sessions typically last five weekdays, including paid travel days, though some projects may last longer and may include working weekends. Travel and fieldwork days range from 8–12 working hours, sometimes more. Overnight lodging will usually be provided in hotel rooms or shared house rentals, with private bedrooms for each team member. Some projects may require overnight camping; BCI will provide basic camping equipment (tent, sleeping bag and pad, stove, etc.) as needed. Meals, equipment, and travel costs will be reimbursed to federal per diem standards. Office work, when available, is flexible and will occur remotely from a home office. The use of a computer will be sometimes necessary to complete office work (a computer can be available upon request). Dependent on field work, data management, and reporting needs, work schedules will vary from 1 week per month up to 4 weeks per month.
