*Birdstrike Control Program*

It's no mystery how dangerous and costly bird strikes and wildlife

encounters are to both commercial and military air traffic. The numbers

are alarming - approximately 5,500 bird strikes are reported yearly by

commercial and military aircraft in the US and Canada, causing about

$500 million in damages. The importance of effective and safe control of

wildlife near commercial and military flight facilities is rapidly

becoming one of the most important issues facing airport managers.

 

For military airbases, Birdstrike Control Program offers complete

wildlife management programs -- including one or more wildlife control

officers, one or more trained Border Collie dogs, and all necessary

vehicles and additional control equipment. Our wildlife management

contracts provide an airbase with all the essential tools for complete

wildlife management. Both management personnel and dogs are fully

trained by BCP and provide full-time control programs for airbases while

remaining staff members of BCP. All of our programs utilize non-lethal

control.

Qualifications: Candidates must possess a Masters or Ph.D. in a

related field or equivalent experience.

Salary: $40,000 - $42,000
