Do you want to save the world (or at least the wildlife in it) and get in at the ground floor of a growing environmental technology leader? Our expanding in-house product line is attracting global attention, and we need you to help us sell it!
We’ve been around since 1980 providing solutions to some of the most challenging wildlife conservation problems. If it involves wildlife and technology, we are there. Airports, government agencies, farmers, and industrial groups rely on us to conserve wildlife and prevent damage to people and property. Our technology helps people and wildlife live together.
We look for people with intelligence, initiative, and judgment in all positions – the intelligence to recognize a problem or opportunity, the initiative to address it, and the judgment to know the best way forward. Our people thrive in a high-performance culture and enjoy a diversity of work.
