Two permanent hatchery technician jobs at the Jackson and Saratoga national fish hatcheries in Wyoming, both working on native and endangered fish. The daily work is fish culture in the full sense: feeding, spawning, incubating eggs, rearing, watching for disease and behaviour changes, cleaning, keeping inventory and holding water conditions where they need to be. Technicians run the hatchery water systems and the equipment attached to them, handle fish transport and stocking runs, record biological data and help with public outreach. The announcement is direct that the work is physically demanding, around water, and exposed to weather and wildlife. Notably it also states that occupancy of government quarters is required, so housing comes with the job. Advertised at GS-5 and GS-6.
