About the role

Environmental Resources Management (ERM) is seeking a Paleontological Field Director for field monitoring in Nevada. The role involves overseeing grading, trenching, and excavation activities to identify and document paleontological resources, with close coordination with project teams and senior paleontologists. The position requires 2–3 years of Nevada field experience, familiarity with BLM guidelines, and ability to work in challenging field conditions.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
