Qualifications

  • High school diploma or equivalent.
  • Basic knowledge of the biology and behavior of laboratory animal species is preferred.

  • Prior experience in an animal environment such as a zoo, shelter, or even a retail pet store (e.g., PetSmart, Petco) is a significant plus.

  • Flexibility to work periodic weekends, holidays, and in emergency situations.

  • Strong communication and teamwork skills.

Additional Details

  • Schedule: Monday-Friday, 6:30 AM - 2:30 PM or 7:00 AM - 3:00 PM.

  • Weekend Work: This position requires availability to work every third Saturday of the month, with overtime pay provided for weekend shifts.
