Remote Forest Birds at Risk Field Technician - Technicienne/technicien de terrain, Oiseaux forestiers en pé

$20.74 - $21.96 per hour

Birds Canada

Job Posting – Forest Birds at Risk Field Technician

Are you looking to apply your skills to work that is meaningful, engaging, and makes a real difference for nature? Do you want to work in a collaborative, values-driven organization that supports flexibility and well-being while tackling important conservation challenges?

Birds Canada is the country’s leading national organization dedicated to bird conservation. Our team of 100+ staff works alongside thousands of committed volunteers and supporters to Uncover the science needed to understand birds, Unite people and communities around conservation, and Act to protect birds and their habitats. Together, we are Canada’s Voice for Birds. Will you join us?

POSITION OVERVIEW

The Forest Birds at Risk Field Technicians will survey private and public woodlots for forest birds, with a focus on five target species at risk: Cerulean Warbler, Acadian Flycatcher, Louisiana Waterthrush, Prothonotary Warbler, and Red-headed Woodpecker. Daily responsibilities include conducting point count surveys, taking forest composition measurements, recording forest health risks, and entering data. Technicians will also search for and monitor nests of the above focal species.

Technicians must be comfortable working independently, waking up before dawn, and spending long days hiking outdoors in hot, buggy conditions in areas with poison ivy and high numbers of ticks (including ticks that may carry Lyme disease). Technicians will also participate in volunteer, landowner, and project partner engagement activities from time to time.

EMPLOYMENT DETAILS

This fixed term 8-week (with potential for up to 14-weeks, dependent on funding) role reports to the Ontario Forest Birds Program Assistant Coordinator and is fully in-person. Anticipated start date for this role is May 4, 2026. The role is based primarily at Long Point Bird Observatory’s Old Cut Research Station (shared housing), near Port Rowan, ON. Surveys take place mostly in Norfolk and Elgin counties, with some technicians potentially spending 2-3 weeks in the Frontenac Arch, based out of the Queen’s University Biological Station. Due to the nature of the fieldwork and shared accommodations, this role involves higher-than-typical physical, visual, auditory and sustained concentration demands. 

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES


  • Communicate with supervisor and/or field crew leader to plan day-to-day activities

  • Conduct point count surveys for forest birds, take forest composition measurements, and record forest health risks

  • Search for and monitor nests of Acadian Flycatcher, Louisiana Waterthrush, Prothonotary Warbler, Cerulean Warbler and Red-headed Woodpecker

  • Help create and maintain good relationships with landowners and other project partners (through interactions during surveys or potential outreach opportunities)

  • Data entry and organization

  • Other tasks, as required

 

REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS


  • Excellent knowledge of Ontario forest birds, including the ability to identify birds by sight, song, and calls (i.e., must have at least 2 years of experience identifying birds outside coursework)

  • Experience conducting point counts and/or surveying birds using other sampling techniques

  • Experience working in the field and/or using GPS and compass

  • High level of organization, initiative, and ability to take clear and detailed notes

  • Able to work effectively and positively in a team environment as well as independently

  • Working knowledge of Microsoft programs (Excel and Word)

  • Possess a valid Ontario driver’s licence (Class G preferred), with a clean driving record

  • Valid First Aid Certification (obtained before contract start date)

  • Legally entitled to work in Canada (if applicable, successful applicants must provide a copy of their work visa and temporary SIN prior to commencing work)

 

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE

Although not required, some candidates may be in the process of, or have already completed, a B.Sc. in biology or ecology or an equivalent wildlife-related program. Relevant experience or other informal and formal education/training are equally considered.

 

SALARY AND BENEFITS

The salary for this role is $20.74 - $21.96 per hour depending on project-relevant experience and expertise for an approximately 40-hour work week. Compensation includes statutory and discretionary benefits including pro-rated Vacation and Personal Health Days. Costs of food and shared on-site accommodation are also provided for the duration of the Field Season.

 

TO APPLY

Please submit your resume along with a covering letter outlining how your experience makes you the perfect candidate for this role via the Birds Canada Online Job Portal by 5pm EST on February 13, 2026. Birds Canada will provide accommodation throughout the recruitment, selection, and/or assessment process to applicants with disabilities. 

 

At Birds Canada, we are committed to fostering a culture that values Indigenous Engagement and Reconciliation, and Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility, as integral approaches that shape all that we do in our organization and for nature (read our full commitment to inclusion at this LINK ). We oppose prejudice, bigotry, and discrimination, and aim to ensure that people of all backgrounds, identities, abilities, and experiences feel a sense of belonging and can participate in protecting wild birds and their habitats.

 

We are actively seeking to improve our ability to reach all candidates with our job postings. Applicants belonging to racialized groups, who identify as Indigenous, 2SLGBTQIA+, and/or who have a disability, are therefore welcome to mention this in their cover letter, if they feel comfortable, although this is not a requirement.

Offre d’emploi –Technicienne/technicien de terrain, Oiseaux forestiers en péril

Vous aimeriez investir vos compétences dans un travail significatif et stimulant qui contribuera directement à la protection de la nature? Vous souhaitez travailler dans une organisation axée sur la collaboration et les valeurs, qui favorise la flexibilité et le bien-être tout en relevant d'importants défis en matière de conservation?

 

Oiseaux Canada est un organisme national de premier plan voué à la conservation aviaire. Notre équipe de plus d’une centaine de personnes travaille aux côtés de milliers de bénévoles et de sympathisants engagés en vue de dégager les connaissances scientifiques nécessaires à une meilleure connaissance des oiseaux, de rallier les gens et les communautés autour de la conservation et d’agir pour protéger les oiseaux et leurs habitats. Ensemble, nous sommes la voix des oiseaux au Canada. Ferez-vous partie de notre équipe?

 

VUE D’ENSEMBLE DU POSTE

Les techniciennes/techniciens de terrain, Oiseaux forestiers en péril effectueront des relevés des cinq espèces d’oiseaux forestiers en péril suivantes dans des boisés privés et publics: la Paruline azurée, le Moucherolle vert, la Paruline hochequeue, la Paruline orangée et le Pic à tête rouge. Chaque jour de travail, ces personnes réaliseront des points d’écoute (dénombrements ponctuels), des mesures de la composition des forêts et des relevés des risques pour la santé des forêts, et feront la saisie des données. Elles devront également rechercher et surveiller les nids des espèces cibles susmentionnées.

De plus, ces personnes doivent être à l’aise de travailler en autonomie, de se lever avant l'aube et de passer de longues journées à marcher dehors par temps chaud en présence d’insectes, entre autres dans des zones où il y a de l’herbe à puces et beaucoup de tiques, dont certaines peuvent être porteuses de la maladie de Lyme. En outre, elles participeront de temps à autre à des activités de mobilisation de bénévoles, de propriétaires fonciers et de partenaires du projet.

DÉTAILS CONCERNANT L’EMPLOI

Ce poste à durée déterminée de 8 semaines (la période pouvant durer 14 semaines sous réserve du financement approprié) relève de la coordonnatrice adjointe ou du coordonnateur adjoint du Programme des oiseaux forestiers de l’Ontario, et les titulaires travailleront en personne sur les lieux de travail en tout temps. La date prévue d’entrée en fonctions est le 4 mai 2026. Ces personnes travailleront principalement à partir de la station de recherche Old Cut de l’Observatoire d’oiseaux de Long Point (lieux d’hébergement partagés), près de Port Rowan, en Ontario. Les relevés auront lieu en majeure partie dans les comtés de Norfolk et d’Elgin. Certains des titulaires des postes pourraient passer 2 à 3 semaines dans l’Arche de Frontenac, à partir de la station de biologie de l’Université Queen’s. Les tâches impliquent des efforts physiques, visuels et auditifs et une concentration plus importants que ce qui est généralement considéré comme normal, en raison de la nature du travail sur le terrain et du fait que l'hébergement est en commun.

 

FONCTIONS ET RESPONSABILITÉS


  • Communiquer avec la supérieure immédiate ou le supérieur immédiat et/ou avec la cheffe ou le chef d’équipe pour planifier les activités quotidiennes.

  • Réaliser des relevés d’oiseaux forestiers sous forme de points d’écoute, prendre des mesures de la composition des forêts et effectuer des relevés des risques pour la santé des forêts.

  • Chercher et surveiller des nids de Moucherolles verts, de Parulines hochequeue, de Parulines orangées, de Parulines azurées et de Pics à tête rouge.

  • Contribuer à établir et à maintenir de bonnes relations avec les propriétaires fonciers et les autres partenaires du programme (en communiquant avec eux pendant les relevés ou de possibles activités de sensibilisation).

  • Entrer et organiser les données.

  • S’acquitter d’autres tâches au besoin.

 

CONNAISSANCES ET COMPÉTENCES


  • Excellente connaissance des oiseaux forestiers de l’Ontario, y compris la capacité d’identifier les oiseaux visuellement et par la voix (c.-à-d. avoir au moins deux ans d’expérience de l’identification des oiseaux en dehors du cadre scolaire)

  • Expérience dans l’exécution de relevés d’oiseaux au moyen de points d’écoute et/ou par d’autres méthodes d’échantillonnage

  • Expérience du travail de terrain et/ou de l’utilisation d’un GPS et d’une boussole

  • Grand sens de l’organisation, esprit d’initiative et capacité de prendre des notes claires et détaillées

  • Capacité de travailler efficacement et de manière positive en équipe ainsi que de façon indépendante

  • Connaissance pratique des logiciels Excel et Word de Microsoft

  • Possession d’un permis de conduire de l’Ontario valide (de préférence de la classe G) et d’un bon dossier de conduite

  • Possession d’un certificat de premiers soins valide (obtenu avant la date d’entrée en fonctions)

  • Autorisation légale de travailler au Canada (S’il y a lieu, les candidats retenus doivent fournir une copie de leur visa de travail et leur numéro d’assurance sociale temporaire avant de commencer à travailler.)

 

ÉTUDES ET EXPÉRIENCE

Bien que ce ne soit pas exigé, des candidates ou des candidats peuvent être en train d'obtenir, ou avoir déjà obtenu, un baccalauréat en biologie ou en écologie ou un diplôme d’un programme équivalent lié aux espèces sauvages. Une expérience pertinente ou d'autres études/formations formelles ou informelles seront également prises en considération.

 

SALAIRE ET AVANTAGES SOCIAUX

Le salaire est de 20,74 à 21,96$ l’heure, en fonction de l’expérience antérieure et de l’expertise reliées aux fonctions, pour une semaine de travail d’environ 40 heures. S’ajoutent des avantages statutaires et discrétionnaires, y compris les vacances au prorata et les jours de santé personnelle. En outre, les frais de nourriture et d'hébergement commun sur place sont pris en charge pendant toute la durée de la saison de terrain.

 

 

POUR POSTULER

Veuillez soumettre, au plus tard à 17 h, heure normale de l’Est, le 13 février 2026, dans le portail d’emploi d’Oiseaux Canada, votre curriculum vitae et une lettre de présentation expliquant en quoi votre expérience fait de vous la candidate ou le candidat idéal pour ce poste. Oiseaux Canada offrira des mesures d’adaptation aux personnes présentant des incapacités tout au long du processus de recrutement, de sélection et/ou d’évaluation.

 

Chez Oiseaux Canada, nous nous engageons à favoriser une culture qui valorise l'engagement des peuples autochtones et la réconciliation avec ceux‑ci, ainsi que l'inclusion, la diversité, l'équité et l'accessibilité, en tant qu'approches intégrales qui façonnent tout ce que nous faisons au sein de notre organisation et pour la nature (lisez notre engagement complet envers l'inclusion sur notre page web ). Nous nous opposons aux préjugés, au sectarisme et à la discrimination, et nous nous efforçons de faire en sorte que les personnes de toutes origines, identités, capacités et expériences aient un sentiment d'appartenance et puissent participer à la protection des oiseaux sauvages et de leurs habitats.

Nous travaillons activement à améliorer notre capacité à joindre l’ensemble des candidates et candidats avec nos offres d’emploi. Les personnes appartenant à des groupes racialisés ou à la communauté 2SLGBTQIA+ et les personnes qui s’identifient comme Autochtones ou qui ont des capacités différentes sont donc invitées à s’identifier comme telles dans leur lettre d’accompagnement si elles se sentent à l’aise de le faire, mais ce n’est pas obligatoire.
