FULL-TIME TEMPORARY FACILITIES MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN
Through

The Marine Mammal Center, an equal opportunity, non-profit employer, has an immediate need for a temporary Facilities Maintenance Technician to join our team. The
Marine Mammal Center’s mission is to expand knowledge about marine mammals—their health and that of their ocean environment—and to inspire their global conservation. Our core work is the rescue and rehabilitation of sick and injured marine mammals, supported
by state-of-the-art animal care and research facilities, a corps of dedicated volunteers, and an engaged community.
About the Organization
The Marine Mammal Center is the largest facility of its kind in the world. Founded in 1975, The Center has grown into an internationally renowned and state-of-the art
marine mammal hospital, research center and educational organization. Each year, The Center treats 600 – 800 sick, injured and orphaned marine mammals, with the goal of rehabilitation and release. Its professional staff collaborates with over 30 different
scientific, educational, federal, state and non-profit organizations from around the world.
Marine mammal scientists and veterinarians from across the globe visit The Center and shadow its staff and volunteers to learn from the hundreds of animals treated
each year, and from its acclaimed veterinary, scientific, and research staff. By collaborating with leading scientists and researchers to learn from the patients in their care, The Center expands and advances science to increase understanding of the health
of the ocean and highlights implications for human health.
In addition to its work with the scientific community, The Center’s formal and informal education programs reach 100,000 children and adults ever year. Ultimately,
The Center’s work inspires action and fosters stewardship toward the care of our environment.
Overlooking the ocean in the Marin Headlands, in Sausalito, CA, The Center operates three field stations in its 600-mile rescue range on the California coastline from San Luis Obispo through
Mendocino County, as well as its new Kona, Hawaii facility. With an annual operating budget of $8M, 60 staff and 1,200 actively engaged volunteers, The Center operates 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.
