Full job description

Location: Hazelton, BC, or Smithers, BC (with hybrid options when not in field programs)

Employment Type: 4-Month Term (with possibility of full-time employment)

Gitxsan Environmental Services is seeking a passionate Junior Biologist to support our growing efforts in resource protection, environmental management, and community-driven conservation projects. This 4-month term position, with the potential for full-time employment, offers a unique opportunity to work in the stunning Gitxsan region. You’ll collaborate with strategic partners or subcontractors, blending fieldwork in a camp setting (typically two weeks on, one week off during the busy field season) with office-based responsibilities in Hazelton or Smithers, and hybrid work options when not in the field. Contribute to meaningful environmental outcomes while learning from experienced team members in a culturally rich and dynamic environment.

Key Responsibilities:

Fieldwork: Assist in data collection for environmental monitoring projects in a camp setting, using tools like GPS, compasses, and maps to navigate the Gitxsan terrain; support fish, wetland, wildlife, and water quality assessments alongside strategic partners or subcontractors.
Office Work: Help prepare technical reports and summaries for project delivery, incorporating field data and traditional knowledge where applicable, from Hazelton or Smithers offices or hybrid settings.
Data Management: Input, organize, and maintain project data using computer systems, following QA/QC (quality assurance/quality control) processes under supervision.
Proposal Writing: Support the development of project proposals by researching background information and drafting sections for review by senior staff.
Meetings and Stakeholder Engagement: Attend and participate in meetings with clients, stakeholders, and community members (in-person or virtually); assist in presenting project updates or findings as directed.
Environmental Monitoring: Contribute to water quality monitoring, post-construction assessments, and environmental protection planning during field rotations.
Safety and Procedures: Follow standard work procedures for fieldwork and safety in camp settings, assisting in their implementation under guidance.
Learning and Growth: Gain hands-on experience with environmental sampling techniques (e.g., waste water, soil) and assessment scoping while building knowledge of the Gitxsan Laxyip.

Qualification Requirements:

Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science, Biology, Ecology, or a related natural science field.
0-2 years of relevant experience (internships, volunteer work, or transferable skills are considered valuable).
Valid Class 5 Driver’s License.
Comfortable working in a camp setting (two weeks on, one week off during busy field season) and in adverse weather conditions, with a good fitness level, vision, and hearing.
Basic familiarity with the Gitxsan geographic region and terrain (or willingness to learn).
Awareness of or interest in Gitxsan culture, traditions, and history (strong understanding is a plus).
Strong verbal and written communication skills for reports and team collaboration.
Proficiency with computers for data entry and record-keeping (e.g., Microsoft Office; experience with GIS or mapping software is a bonus).
Ability to follow instructions, work collaboratively with strategic partners or subcontractors, and adapt to field, office, and hybrid tasks.
Preference for candidates with introductory environmental sampling or mapping training.

Work Schedule and Location Details:

Initial 4-month term starting April 15, with the possibility of transitioning to full-time employment based on performance and project needs.
Fieldwork conducted in a camp setting, typically on a two-week-on, one-week-off rotation during the busy field season (e.g., spring/summer).
Office-based and hybrid work options available in Hazelton, BC, or Smithers, BC, when not in the field.

Why Join Us?
