Airfield Wildlife Control Operator

4 weeks ago

Hook, United Kingdom Air Partner Plc Full time

Are you looking for a unique career that offers the opportunity for development to Management? If so, look no further

We are looking for a full-time Airfield Wildlife Hazard Management Operator to join our Odiham site. If you are flexible, have a driving licence and are not afraid of lone working and shifts, this may be the role for you. If you like aircraft, even better

This role is 43 hours per week on a rotating schedule. Hourly rate is £9.90 per hour which equates to £22,136.40 per annum. Shifts from Monday to Thursday are split to cover 7am until 2am (either early from 7am until 4.30pm or late from 4.30pm until 2am). Friday’s are a single shift from 8am until 8pm and there is only occasional need for cover on weekends, so it is for the most part a Monday to Friday role.

**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 a 45 minute drive from Odiham - essential
- Be happy to work autonomously for long periods of time with nothing but your vehicle and your hand-held radio for company
- Be fine to use technology - a tablet in order to record findings and Wats App to communicate with your team members - or a willingness to learn
- Be fine with working outside in all weathers
- be able to think on your feet and cope with pressure as it arises

If you are a keen photographer, this is also an advantage as it could be useful in documentation, as would any shooting experience and gun licenses, although all training will be provided if not, and we will also assist you obtaining any relevant licenses if successful.

This role would be ideal for someone who is fairly active outside of work, likes their own company, is flexible and supportive with a team ethos and who has recent shooting experience (from game keeping, pest control, clay / pigeon shooting, military service etc.), but as previously stated, this is not a prerequisite.

**Job Types**: Full-time, Permanent

**Salary**: £9.90 per hour

Application question(s):

- Have you had any issues with colour blindness in the past?
- Do you live less than a 45 minute drive from RAF Odiham?
- Do you see any reason why you would not pass a 5 year security check which looks in to your financial and criminal background?
- Are you happy with the shift patterns and the hourly rate mentioned in the advert.

**Experience**:

- Shooting: 1 year (preferred)

Licence/Certification:

- MANUAL UK Driving license (required)
- Shotgun Certificate (preferred)
- Firearms certificate (preferred)

Work authorisation:

- United Kingdom (required)

Work Location: One location
