Description

Lead Fisheries Engineer. The ideal candidate would have 15 years relevant experience. Typically that is a civil engineer or mechanical engineer. The candidate will have to have a current P.E, license at some state in the Pacific Northwest or CA, with the ability to obtain licenses in other states.
