Data collection in each park usually lasts 12 days; positions require approximately 6-7 hours of work each day, with one day off during that period.
Protocols are in place to safely conduct interviews. Surveyors will be responsible for timely completion of work and must be able to meet scheduling and quota requirements. Strong organizational skills and a high level of attention to detail are required. Familiarity with general operation of tablets is a plus. Accommodation and transportation will be provided.
