Session: Summer (May - August)
Position Title: Intern - Wildlife Technician
Hiring Manager: Jacob Lorton
Agency: Department of Game, Fish, and Parks
Location: Webster
Minimum Salary: 18.60
As a Wildlife Technician Intern, the primary role will be responding to Requests for Services (RFS) for Canada goose depredation. Molting Canada geese and growing crops cause problems in northeast South Dakota, but our Wildlife Damage Management (WDM) program and the services we provide to private landowners is vital to our landowner cooperative programs. These internship positions will work independently with landowners and implement different tools to reduce or mitigate further crop loss. Occasionally, opportunities to work with other species like White-tailed deer, wild turkey, beaver, as well as predators and varmints may also be requested. It is important for individuals to exhibit independence and have great problem-solving skills. Being able to work closely as a team and show adaptability to working with other interns is a must. Selected individuals must be able to manage and prioritize tasks to be as efficient and effective as possible. Interns will be trained on the tools and techniques upon arrival. Additional internship opportunities can and will include assisting Wildlife Conservation Officers, Public Land Managers, Wildlife Damage Specialists, Waterfowl Biologist, as well as the Fisheries Biologists as time allows.
Qualifications
Applicants should have a basic knowledge of UTV, truck and trailer upkeep and maintenance. Individuals will be operating a pick up truck while pulling a trailer on a daily basis, so experience in pulling and backing up trailers is helpful but not required. During training hired individuals will be required to acquire an online ROHVA certificate before operating a UTV.
Applicant must be enrolled as a part-time/full-time student at a college, university, or technical institute at the time they apply. By the start of the internship, the student should have completed one year (nine months) of their chosen program.
All students are encouraged to apply, but preference may be given to applicants with a standing of junior/senior, South Dakota residents, and students of South Dakota institutions.
