  • Applying for and supporting permits from land use agencies at the county, state, and federal levels.
  • Solid track record of coordination with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) district offices in the region.
  • A well-rounded understanding of associated environmental regulations such as Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act, and National Historic Preservation Act are important for this role.
  • Relevant energy infrastructure or other land development project experience with the ability to work collaboratively to support multiple projects with multifaceted environmental and regulatory issues.
  • Willing to travel to remote sites with required off-road vehicle access and/or hiking to complete site evaluations. Field mapping and GIS skills are necessary to successfully execute this position.
  • Maintain current knowledge of pertinent national and state-level environmental policies and regulations, effectively interface with internal and external customers, subject matter experts, and other stakeholders, and be able to assist in resolving complex environmental matters.
