Airfield Wildlife Control Operator Advert

3 months ago


Saint Andrews, Fife, United Kingdom Air Partner Plc Full time
This a permanent role that offers £12 per hour. We can offer either 42.5 hours a week or 40 hours a week, depending on what suits you best.

Shift patterns can be discussed further at interview, but they are generally 9 hours per shift.

Normal hours of operation are 08:00-17:00 and this is a 7 day a week airfield so some weekend working will be required.

A normal shift pattern would be 4 days on then 4 days off and so on.


Occasionally you may be asked to cover Military Operations on the airfield and this may involve some extended hours, but you will be advised of this in advance.


The other hours are made up from leave cover (extra shifts) and occasional night flying, unless you go over the contracted hours at the end of the year, in which case, you would be paid extra for the hours owed.


Please also note that 5-8 weeks of the year, the station moves to 24hr operations and 12 hour shifts covering both nights and days.

Shift patterns for 24hrs cover are normally 2 days on 2 off and 2 nights on and 2 off. Again, more detail can be provided on this during the interview process.

About the role
Wildlife, particularly birds, pose a high risk to air safety, especially during critical points of flight, take-off and landing.

The purpose of the Airfield Wildlife Control Operator (AWCO) is to eliminate the presence of birds and other wildlife on the airfield, reducing the risk to all aircraft.

Wildlife is naturally attracted to the airfield due to several factors, the primary being the abundance of food.


Equipped with a 4x4 vehicle, bioacoustics, pyrotechnics and (when all else fails) an air rifle or shotgun, you will deter the wildlife from settling on the airfield and encourage all bird populations to stay well clear.

The entire operation is carried out within the strict guidelines of Natural England, the Police and Local Airfield Management.


You will record all movements and activities in a digital watch log, with all lethally controlled animals dispatched under licence as a last resort to preserve the safety of aircraft.


What we are looking for:

  • Live within a maximum of 45 minutes' drive from Leuchars Station (essential)
  • Have experience in vermin control, game keeping, pest control or be happy to undertake this
  • Be able to demonstrate an interest in wildlife matters
- be flexible and happy to work shifts

  • Be happy to work autonomously for long periods of time with nothing but your vehicle and your handheld radio for company
  • Be fine to use technology we use tablets to record findings and Wats App to communicate with your team members or a willingness to learn
  • Be OK with working outside in all weathers
  • Have an ability to think on your feet and cope with pressure as it arises
Shooting experience would be an advantage, but all training will be provided. You will need to be comfortable with the possibility of dispatching wildlife as last resort however.


If you hold a shotgun and/ or firearms certificates that would be an advantage, but we will assist you to obtain these if you are successful - you must however be able to obtain and maintain such certificates with our help.


This role would suit someone who is fairly active outside of work, likes their own company, is flexible and supportive with a team ethos and who has recent experience of vermin control, game keeping and / or pest control.

If you are a keen photographer, this is also an advantage as it could be useful in documentation.
