    SWCA Environmental Consultants’ Central Region is seeking a full-time, mid-level Bat Staff Biologist (HR Title: Staff Biologist) to join our growing bat biology program. You will lead bat studies using mist-net and acoustic survey techniques for projects in the renewable energy, transportation, and other development projects across the eastern United States. A key element of your job will be to independently supervise environmental survey crews in the field. In addition, you will write reports, lead habitat assessments, and assist with other environmental surveys (e.g., avian surveys, wetland delineations, species-specific surveys). Applicants with additional relevant skills (e.g., wetland determinations, additional endangered species experienced) will receive top consideration.

      • ensuring that employees understand their responsibilities and delegated tasks and being held accountable if crew members under your supervision are not performing their activities correctly, productively, and safely;
      • serving as a conduit of communication between employees and senior managers, including communicating issues to relevant senior managers;
      • receiving and resolving complaints from employees in the field; and
      • monitoring team productivity and offering timely performance guidance, including determining when corrective action is needed and delivering appropriate feedback.
    • Track target species via radio-telemetry
    • Lead habitat assessments and site characterization studies
    • Prepare reports describing survey methodologies and results for clients and regulatory agencies
    • Assist with Endangered Species Act compliance coordination
    • May mentor junior staff, as appropriate
    • May conduct biological data/literature searches and reviews
    • May conduct wetland and stream delineations
    • Use topographic maps, aerial photographs, GPS units, and other maps and tools to determine exact locations of project areas, habitat types, and associated landforms
    • Drive 4WD vehicles in rugged terrain

    • Experience conducting manual review of acoustic survey data
    • Experience preparing scientific reports and environmental permitting documentation
