About the opportunity:

SWCA Environmental Consultants is seeking a Staff-Level Paleontologist to join our Southern CA team.

For assistant staff and staff Paleontologist positions, depending upon project, an element of your job may be to independently supervise a biological survey crew in the field. This includes:

Independently assigning and directing the activities of others on behalf of SWCA, often in remote areas without immediate guidance from senior managers, to ensure quality and on-time delivery;
Ensuring that employees understand their responsibilities and delegated tasks and being held accountable if crew members under your supervision are not performing their activities correctly, productively, and safely;
Serving as a conduit of communication between employees and senior managers, including communicating issues to relevant senior managers;
Receiving and resolving complaints from employees in the field; and
