We are seeking a Mid-Senior Environmental Biologist to support ecological assessment, permitting, and environmental compliance projects across the San Diego region.

The successful candidate will demonstrate excellent technical writing, organization, and interpersonal skills; proficiency with Microsoft Office and GIS applications; sound field safety practices; and the ability to work independently while contributing effectively to multidisciplinary teams.
