  • A valid class 5 driver’s license in good standing.
  • A strong passion for birds and wildlife.
  • A love for working outdoors in a physically demanding job.

Wildlife Duties:

  • Identifying bird species using morphological traits and field markings;
  • Handling birds and wildlife in various conditions; and
  • Hazing birds and wildlife based on species, physical condition, and behaviour.

While this is a seasonal contract (approximately February to November), there will be opportunities for year-round employment, including wildlife sweeps and maintenance work during the winter months.

Acden Aves is an equitable opportunity employer. We reserve the right to hire outside of the prerequisites as the job requires or as the company sees fit.
