Project lengths focused on juvenile fish rearing typically range from six to ten weeks, with limited projects ranging up to six to nine months. The Fisheries Technician is a vital member of the hatchery operations team, supporting the cultivation, propagation, harvest, spawning, and rearing of Pacific Salmon. This position requires residency at the hatchery site and on-premises attendance. The position during peak operations may require tasks for fish monitoring performed outside of the standard working schedule.
