We are currently recruiting for a Wildlife Specialist position in Columbus, Montana.  This will be a full time 13 month NTE (Not To Exceed) position with benefits and potential to renew.  It will start out at a GS 5 step 1 (depending on experience) and the promotion potential is up to a GS 5 step 10 ($31,315 – $40,706).  We’re looking for a hardworking, energetic person. We would prefer someone with trapping, hunting and outdoor experience.  Someone that can represent our agency well as they interact with cooperators and other agencies.  It will require the ability to work well alone, with minimal direction and in adverse conditions.  
 
This position requires the applicant to be proficient with firearms, traps and snares.  They will also be required to use restricted use pesticides, ATV’s, four wheel drive vehicles, pull trailers and work various hours of the day and various days of the week.  They will be doing damage control activities involving wolves, grizzly bears, black bears, mountain lions but the major focus will be on coyotes.  They will be covering three counties here in Montana responding to all damage complaints in their area.  Grizzly bears are federally listed as threatened so we need someone who can work closely with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service as well as the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks.  They will need to be comfortable utilizing drugs to immobilize a federally listed as threatened species (grizzly bears).  They will need proficient skills in conducting investigations of livestock carcasses to determine what carnivore (grizzly bear, black bear,
 mountain lion, wolf, coyote) was responsible.  They will also need good writing and computer skills for completing investigative reports on livestock depredations involving all 4 of those species.
 
There is only about 15,000 sheep in the 3 counties this person will be responsible for.  Most of the work is for the protection of cattle as there is about 116,000 head of adult cattle in the 3 counties.
 
If you know of someone that would fit this bill please have them send me their resume, I will be making a decision sometime around the first of May.  The position will begin about May 18, 2014.
 
Thanks!!
