Ornithologist
Cincinnati OH
BHE Environmental, Inc., an interdisciplinary consulting firm headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, has an opening for a field ornithologist. In this position, you will use your field skills in bird identification and habitat evaluation in support of client needs in wind power, transportation, pipeline, telecommunication towers and other industries. You will also design and conduct post-construction bird mortality studies for large structures like wind turbine projects. The position involves a mix of field work and office-based report writing. You will undertake project management if qualified, or can advance to increasingly complex projects and analysis over time, and eventually undertake project management.
A minimum of a Master's degree in ornithology, zoology or wildlife management is required, along with demonstrated competence in bird identification for Midwestern and Eastern biomes and a thorough understanding of avian nesting and migration patterns. Effective written and oral communication skills are critical. Frequent multi-day travel is expected, especially during field season. Experience in bird studies relating to wind farms is preferred. Previous experience in permitting, wind farm siting studies, avian telecommunication tower studies, NEPA, and other regulations would be beneficial, as would prior consulting work.
