Organizational Summary: Integral Ecology Research Center (IERC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to wildlife conservation and ecosystem health through scientific research. Our mission is to perform ecological research and compile, organize, and disseminate the results of this research to increase scientific knowledge for the public, advance the management and conservation of wildlife species and their communities, and enhance overall ecosystem health and conservation.
Position Summary: The Environmental Restoration Project Coordinator II (PCII) leads complex, multi-stakeholder field operations and training programs within IERC’s Environmental Restoration Program. This is primarily an operational coordination and workforce training role requiring extensive experience managing concurrent workstreams across diverse partners, contractors, administrative and field teams.
The PCII serves as the primary operational liaison between the Program Manager and field or office personnel such as Research Scientists, Project Specialists, and Technicians. Core responsibilities include coordinating multi-partner logistics (Land and Natural Resource agencies, hazardous materials professionals, and aviation scheduling for long-range helicopter operations), developing and delivering workforce training programs on cannabis site restoration protocols, and managing QA/QC, data systems, and technical documentation across all project phases.
This role will require the physical capacity to periodically navigate rugged terrain, the operational judgment to oversee the coordination of safety-sensitive activities in both training and classroom settings plus remote field environments, and the technical writing proficiency to produce publication-quality reports, protocols, and compliance documentation. The PCII fosters a collaborative, inclusive, and high-performance team environment that supports individual professional development, project success, and long-term organizational growth.
Supervisory duties include technical training, day-to-day scheduling, timesheet approval, performance tracking, and coordination of formal performance reviews in collaboration with Human Resources. The duration of the project is estimated to be 24 months. This position is based on grant funding and will be periodically reviewed for extension and is offered on an at-will basis, consistent with California law.
