About On-Call Employment with ICF

Given the seasonal or project-specific nature of our environmental work, ICF often hires environmental professionals as “On-Call” employees. On-Call employees are scheduled for work hours as they become available (we usually schedule work hours a few weeks ahead of time), and each on-call employee is free to accept or refuse the hours assigned to them in a given week. On-Call employees may work concurrent projects outside of their ICF assignment (along as their outside work does not create a conflict of interest with the work they do for ICF).

What You Must Have

  • B.S. in Biology, or 1-2 years of field experience
  • Direct experience in fish capture and handling
  • Have completed a two-day electrofishing class
  • Training in Western Washington freshwater fish ecology and identification
  • Have completed at least 100 hours of electrofishing experience in the Pacific Northwest
  • Solid field skills, including the ability to navigate using maps and GPS
  • Strong oral and written communication skills & ability to prepare field data forms.
  • Experience using sampling and water quality monitoring equipment
  • Previous experience operating small (15-25’) boats desired, but not necessary.
  • Ability to swim 50 yards without assistance.
  • Must have valid driver’s license and successfully pass a Motor Vehicle Records (MVR) check.
