A Career In Wildlife Management

What To Expect As A
Wildlife Whisperer Field Professional

Please keep in mind, this career isn't for everybody, but it is the only career and way of life for others.

They wouldn't have it any other way - and neither would we.

Working Conditions & Requirements

Working with nuisance wildlife means being ready for just about any condition you can imagine - from driving on ice and snow when it is 20 degrees below, to crawling in a cave or climbing a 40' ladder to access a chimney when it is 115".

As a Humane Wildlife Management Professional field operator and handy man - or woman, you can expect to spend 80% of your physically demanding days on a ladder and a roof in all weather conditions doing simple to complex repairs in what can be considered dangerous and difficult to reach areas.

The humane way of wildlife control is not usually the quick and easy way.

Upper body strength for ladder control and being very agile is mandatory.

If you are scared of multi-tasking, responsibility, being asked to use common sense to solve problems on your own, having your work re-checked for quality control, taking hundreds of photos of your before and after work is completed, reading a lot in order to learn more about wildlife, working alone, hard work, wild animals, getting dirty, hot or cold weather, rain, snow, talking to people, heights, and having intense checks run on your background, drug use and driving record - this job may not be for you.

You will typically work alone and in all weather conditions.

Sample Job Responsibilities

As a wildlife professional, you need to be ready for just about anything, have the proper tools in hand, and be prepared to go where wildlife goes - some things you'll need to be ready for are as follows:

Please note the below photos and the green arrow pointing to a frequently repaired animal entry area. We use hook ladders, ladder stand-offs and tall ladders at atypical angles to accomplish our missions.

Compensation & Supplies

Field Professional pay is up to you because we prefer to have contractors vs employees. Your construction skills, quick learning, willingness to further educate yourself about wildlife via extra-curricular reading, multi-tasking, leadership, self-starting, emergency call availability, and organizational skills will make you a considerable amount of money.

Background Check & Drug Testing

You will be required to undergo a background investigation, drug testing and a D.M.V. investigation.

Background blemishes will not exclude you, but will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
