  • Support project meetings, agency coordination, public meetings, and technical presentations as needed.
  • Maintain accurate field notes, environmental data, technical records, and project documentation.
  • Perform assigned tasks in accordance with established project scopes, schedules, budgets, and quality standards.
  • Follow applicable Company health and safety requirements and promote safe work practices during field and project activities.
  • Perform administrative and technical project-support activities, including maintaining project documentation, tracking permitting and regulatory requirements, coordinating project schedules and deliverables, and supporting communication with clients, agencies, and internal project teams.

What qualifications are required for this role?

  • Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science, Environmental Studies, Biology, Ecology, Natural Resources, or a closely related scientific or technical discipline required. Master degree in a related discipline preferred.
  • One (1) to four (4) years of relevant professional experience in environmental consulting, environmental science, natural-resource management, environmental permitting, regulatory compliance, or a related field.
  • Relevant internships, academic research, or field experience may be considered toward applicable experience.
  • Experience conducting environmental field investigations, preparing technical documentation, coordinating or leading field crews, and supporting environmental permitting activities preferred.
  • Working knowledge of environmental science principles, field investigation methods, environmental assessments, and regulatory compliance practices.
  • Knowledge of applicable federal, state, and local environmental regulations and permitting processes.
  • Ability to conduct environmental field investigations, collect accurate data, and apply established technical methodologies.
