Job opportunity in Chile

Oikonos is seeking a Conservation Fence Manager to play a leadership role for a fence to protect a Pink-footed Shearwater colony in Chile.

Conservation Fence Manager Position, Robinson Crusoe Island, Chile

Oikonos Ecosystem Knowledge is seeking an individual who will play a leadership role in designing (2018) and constructing (2019) a 900 m cattle and rabbit-proof fence to protect a Pink-footed shearwater colony in Robinson Crusoe Island, Chile.

This fence project will be a significant contribution to wildlife conservation because it must overcome challenges shared by many remote locations that include (1) no car or helicopter access (only by foot or donkey), (2) no on-site water source, (3) no electricity, (4) severe seasonal weather conditions (routinely exposed to hurricane force winds), and (5) affordability.

Applicants or contractors with expertise in any aspect of this description are encouraged to contact Valentina Colodro, Chile Program Manager, valentina@oikonos.org.
