JOB LISTING: Putah Creek Council’s OneCreek Seasonal Tech Program

Putah Creek Council’s OneCreek Seasonal Restoration Technician Program is a paid ($15.50/hour) part-time, seasonal position designed to give entry-level participants experience working with local partners and stakeholders along the Putah Creek Watershed. With the help of partner agencies, the OneCreek Program provides work experience and skill development in field work days and nursery work days. 

The Fall 2023 OneCreek season will run for eight weeks from the week of September 25th through the week of November 13th. The time commitment is between 6-10 hours a week and includes a combination of on-site field work and independent readings, depending on participants’ availability. Previous restoration experience is not required and applicants do not need to be enrolled students in order to participate.  

Join us this Fall to train and network with experts selected for their expertise in habitat restoration, native plant landscaping, outdoor recreation management, native plant propagation, and nursery operations. Technicians receive an introduction to Restoration and Conservation career paths from regional professionals. These experts will give guided presentations and engage in discussion activities about the concepts learned. The program will include exposure to the science behind the various restoration projects and research being conducted in the region. In addition, participants will receive the contact information of the agency representatives they gain hands-on experience and job training from during employment. The one-on-one opportunity to gain experience in the field with prospective employers is not often presented through college courses. 

Work days will be held primarily outdoors within Solano and Yolo Counties and vary depending on the day. Transportation to the worksite is not provided. Applicants may apply via Google Forms, found on our website, and submit their resume and cover letter to the Education Program Manager Brenda at brenda@putahcreekcouncil.org and cc Stewardship Program Manager Nicolle at nicolle@putahcreekcouncil.org
