CEQA Compliance Manager
We are seeking an experienced CEQA Compliance Manager to lead environmental compliance activities for a diverse portfolio of public and private development, infrastructure, and planning projects. This role will manage the preparation, review, and implementation of documentation required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), ensuring projects meet applicable statutory, regulatory, and procedural requirements. The successful candidate will work closely with project managers, legal advisers, technical consultants, public agencies, applicants, and community stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.
Key responsibilities will include overseeing Initial Studies, Notices of Preparation, Negative Declarations, Mitigated Negative Declarations, Environmental Impact Reports, addenda, exemptions, and other CEQA-related documents. You will coordinate environmental studies and technical analyses, review consultant deliverables, identify potential environmental impacts, develop mitigation measures, and monitor the preparation and implementation of Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Programs. The role will also involve tracking project schedules and budgets, preparing staff reports and presentations, responding to agency and public comments, supporting public hearings, and maintaining accurate administrative records. You will provide practical advice on CEQA strategy, compliance risks, procedural requirements, and emerging regulatory developments.
Applicants should have substantial experience managing CEQA reviews and a strong understanding of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, related case law, and associated environmental regulations. A degree in environmental planning, urban and regional planning, environmental science, public policy, law, or a related field is preferred, along with relevant professional experience in environmental consulting, local government, development, infrastructure, or a comparable setting. Strong analytical, writing, project management, and communication skills are essential. You should be comfortable managing multiple priorities, leading interdisciplinary teams, working with technical specialists, and explaining complex environmental issues to non-specialist audiences. Familiarity with California planning processes, permitting, GIS, and digital project management tools will be advantageous.
