2026-2027 Field Logistics Technician

Projects and Schedule

UCC operates three field seasons throughout the year. The FLT begins their term of service prior to the start of spring field season. During this time, FLTs become familiar with their responsibilities and assist regional staff with preparation for spring training. The spring season is dedicated to the development of Crew Leaders through formal training and peer-led project work. FLTs will participate in the Crew Leaders’ training period, then participate in project work with Crew Leaders for the remainder of the spring season (March – May). During the summer and fall field seasons, FLTs assist field staff with logistical coordination and support field crews.

Field projects may be backcountry (hiking into the project site, camping away from a vehicle) or front country (driving to the project site daily, camping at the vehicle, or non-camp lodging). Projects may be urban (located in a city or town) or rural (located in national parks, forests, etc. with limited access to facilities and services). Project work will vary due to seasonality and environmental safety concerns. Projects may include (but are not limited to):

• Trail construction and maintenance
• Invasive species management, including herbicide application
• Habitat restoration
• Fence installation/repair/removal
• Land management inventory and mapping
• Recreational facilities maintenance and construction
• Recreation signage repair
• Community service
• National disaster response efforts

Every crew will have unique projects and travel schedules. Crews may be on ‘hitch’ for 4-14 days, working 10- hours/day (some days may be up to 12 hours/day), while camping in front and backcountry settings. Typically, crews will have 3-5 days off between hitches. Crews should expect project schedules and project work to vary. Days will include two 15-minute breaks and one 30-minute lunch. The 30-minute lunch break does not count toward term of service hours.

FLTs may or may not be on a typical ‘hitch’ schedule as outlined above. The FLT schedule is highly variable depending on the field office and the project needs. FLTs report to field staff at their assigned regional office.
