H. T. Harvey & Associates is a premier ecological consulting firm based in Northern and Central California (www.harveyecology.com). We are looking for applicants for the Spring and Summer of 2009 as on-call employees to support one or more large-scale rare plant surveys in 2009. The work consists of surveys for rare plants on public Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands as part of the potential future renewable energy development projects in the Mojave Desert (i.e. solar energy projects and wind farm projects).
For clarification, this position is an on-call/temporary position with H.T. Harvey & Associates (not as a sub consultant). The work would likely occur somewhere between early or mid March to early or mid June. We pay between $19.50 and $37.00 per hour, commensurate with experience conducting such surveys; work experience with desert flora and specific to the Mojave Desert is a plus. Naturally, travel and per diem are covered as part of the work. Individuals hired under this on-call arrangement would be working with some of our 7 full-time botanists. The HTH team will also include up to 12 wildlife biologists and revegetation specialists from our company. We are seeking dependable personnel that have good rare plant survey skills, can work well with a large group of people under difficult site conditions, and who have a reasonably flexible schedule (i.e. good general availability in Spring 2009 and can work numerous, consecutive days, if necessary). If you are interested, please let me know and we can further discuss the specifics of on-call employment with H. T. Harvey & Associates. Unfortunately, although plans for rare plant surveys continue to progress, this project (s) is not currently guaranteed, as other firms are bidding on this work, some of the renewable energy applications may be denied by the BLM, and some applications for renewable energy projects may be withdrawn from the applicants for reasons related to the financial viability of the project. We should learn more in the upcoming months. Interested candidates should respond by emailing a cover letter, resume, and references to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and reference Botanist/on-call temporary position, or mail/fax to H. T. Harvey & Associates, Attn: Patrick Boursier, 983 University Ave., Bldg D, Los Gatos, CA, 95032; Fax (408) 458-3210.
