The observer must be able to sit for long periods of time, be familiar with wildlife tracking in the snow, and be comfortable working in a helicopter.
The anticipated start date for this position is Monday, February 21, 2022, but the actual start date will depend on when the surveys are completed in Rigolet.
Polar Bear guard training certificate is an asset, and preference will be given to beneficiaries of the Labrador Inuit Land claims Agreement.
Applications will be required to:
– Fly up to 8 hours on good weather days, snacks and lunches will be provided when flying full days, and observer will be compensated with a daily rate of work.
– Identify and follow wildlife tracks and assist with moose classification. Previous experience in tracking is preferred, but training will also be provided prior to take off.
The deadline to apply is Friday, December 3, 2021.
