WEST has a permanent core of professionals with broad experience in basic and applied ecological studies and the sophisticated analysis of natural resource data. Since its founding in 1990, the WEST team has shaped the foundation of what we do, and what we believe in through our core values and key principles. Our work matters to our clients, communities, and the environment. Join WEST and discover a company of passionate, committed, and highly motivated individuals.

Housing: Local candidates will be given preference, but shared housing or rent reimbursement may be provided to qualifying applicants
Start Date: July 9, 2026
End Date: October 31, 2026
Location: Calhoun and Pocahontas Counties, IA

Job Summary:

Biological field technicians will conduct standardized searches beneath wind turbines to locate and document bird and bat fatalities. An average work week may include 30-40 hours for full-time temporary employees, though there may be weeks requiring shorter or longer hours.

Successful candidates must be able to follow field and data collection protocols
Work well both independently and as part of a larger team

Knowledge of Midwest bird and bat species is a plus, and training will be provided on bird/bat identification and field data collection
Successful candidates will conduct surveys independently, but within a larger team of field technicians

Travel between sites will be required; personal vehicle use will be reimbursed for mileage or a 4x4 rental vehicle will be provided. This position is an excellent way to gain hands-on field experience collecting scientific data that will be used to assess the impacts of wind turbines on avian species across Iowa. Apply now to join our team of nationally recognized avian and bat biologists as a biological field technician!

This is a general description of the functions for this position and is not inclusive of all duties which may be associated with this position.

Job Requirements

Conduct field work while adhering to WEST standards and client field safety requirements.
Conduct standardized fatality searches and follow electronic and paper data collection protocols.
Collect data to measure potential sources of bias in fatality surveys.

Experience with macro-photography, tablet data collection, GPS units, compass, and other field equipment is preferred

Candidates must be organized, and able to collect and manage electronic data, including implementing quality control measures
Must be able to work independently and interact professionally and respectfully with project managers, biologists, technicians, clients, and landowners
Job requires the person filling this position to be able to appear for work on time; start times can often be as early as sunrise

Must be equipped with and provide own suitable safety-toed footwear (steel- or composite-toe), binoculars, clothing, water bottles, etc.

After an offer of employment is made, the candidate must successfully pass a pre-employment background check, drug screening, and a DMV records check that meets WEST’s minimum criteria to operate a motor vehicle on behalf of the company. A valid driver’s license will be required.

WEST provides equal employment opportunities to all individuals regardless of their race, color, religion, gender identity or expression, age, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, disability status, genetics, and any protected veteran status, and any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local law.
