For this Project Manager and Environmental Permitting Specialist [Environmental Professional] position we are seeking a candidate with approximately 5+ years of experience in preparing environmental documents, such as permit applications, CEQA/NEPA impact evaluations, and habitat or stream assessments for a range of projects involving wetlands, waters, and sensitive species and habitats in California. We are searching for a skilled writer, whose written documents are clear, concise, and well-reasoned. We are also seeking a candidate with excellent organization and communication skills.

Our preferred candidate has a solid foundational knowledge of relevant environmental regulations and regulatory agency permitting processes in California, particularly in Northern California.

In this position you will manage and lead permit strategy development and regulatory agency consultations for a wide range of projects. Experience in conducting field surveys, particularly wetland delineations and biological resources assessments, is a preferred supplemental skill, but not required.
