Environmental Planner/Permitting Specialist
We are seeking an Environmental Planner/Permitting Specialist to support the planning, environmental review, and permitting of infrastructure, development, and land-use projects. This role will coordinate environmental assessments, prepare permit applications, and help project teams navigate applicable federal, state, and local regulations. The successful candidate will work closely with clients, engineers, consultants, agencies, landowners, and community stakeholders to identify environmental constraints and develop practical, compliant solutions.
Key responsibilities include preparing and reviewing environmental documentation, permit applications, technical reports, impact assessments, mitigation plans, and agency correspondence. You will research regulatory requirements; coordinate surveys, studies, and specialist consultants; track project schedules, budgets, and approval conditions; and support agency consultations, public meetings, and stakeholder engagement. The role may involve evaluating wetlands, wildlife, cultural resources, water quality, vegetation, hazardous materials, and other environmental considerations. You will also monitor regulatory changes, maintain accurate project records, respond to agency comments, and support construction compliance, inspections, and permit closeout activities.
Candidates should have a degree in environmental planning, environmental science, natural resources, urban or regional planning, or a related discipline, along with relevant experience in environmental permitting, compliance, or project coordination. Knowledge of environmental regulations and permitting processes is essential, with experience working across multiple jurisdictions highly valued. Strong writing, research, organization, communication, and problem-solving skills are required, as is the ability to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines. Familiarity with GIS, environmental databases, document management systems, and standard office software is desirable. Professional certification or eligibility for certification in a relevant field is an advantage. Occasional travel, field visits, and participation in public or agency meetings may be required.
