The Phoenix Zoo is currently seeking a full-time Conservation Technician.  This person will be responsible for maintaining the safety, health and well-being of all assigned conservation specimens through the performance of documented husbandry practices.  Conservation Technicians monitor and report dietary consumption, observe and report any health or behavioral concerns or abnormalities, and participate in field conservation activities as assigned.

The Phoenix Zoo was born of a spirit of community and the efforts of small group of dedicated volunteers, and carefully nurtured through the support of millions. We have enjoyed a truly remarkable first 50+ years.  Come be a part of our next 50 years and inspire millions more, connecting them with the natural world in new and fascinating ways.  A cultural destination and a conservation organization, the Phoenix Zoo is now home to more than 1,400 animals, including 30 species that are endangered or threatened. The Conservation department cares for many of them, and they have been instrumental in the progress of our Arabian Oryx efforts, leading to the first time in IUCN history that a species has been upgraded from “endangered” to “vulnerable”.
