BCI and our Mission
Bat Conservation International (BCI), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to ending bat extinctions worldwide, seeks a Project Manager to join BCI’s Restoration Program. The Project Manager must be highly collaborative and enjoy working within an environment that is mission and results-driven, where they can bring their whole self to work and contribute to the mission of BCI, the HP&R program, and lasting, positive ecological change.
BCI is a distributed organization with staff across the United States. The Project Manager will be focused on watershed restoration projects in southwest New Mexico and should live proximal to the Gila National Forest (Silver City, Las Cruces, Albuquerque, Socorro, Alamogordo, El Paso, TX, Duncan AZ, are example locations). This position is remote/work from home and will require frequent travel to field sites and partner meetings. Work may require overnight camping in a wilderness setting to design, build, inspect, or manage watershed restoration projects. Travel will be highly variable and may include up to two weeks per month during the April- October field season. Remote work requires reliable internet access.
The Project Manager will:
• Coordinate and manage restoration efforts, providing oversight of on-the-ground project implementation (may include: leading and training staff, working with field crews, volunteers, contractors, the US Forest Service, assuring quality control, final inspection, etc.).
• Conduct ongoing communication with partners on the status of project planning, implementation, and project successes.
• Oversee projects through their full life cycle - project initiation, planning, managing schedules, tracking budgets, construction site management, quality assurance, and safety.
