Salary– DOE
ESA is a 100% employee-owned environmental consulting firm delivering work that matters.
We plan, design, permit, mitigate, and restore—for projects across our communities, infrastructure systems, open spaces, and wildlands.
Our scientists, planners, historians, archaeologists, engineers, designers, and technical specialists provide critical thinking, in-depth analyses, and committed follow-through to guide successful policy development and project planning and deliver enduring multi-objective solutions.
At ESA, we believe every employee has a unique combination of knowledge, skills, and experience that contributes to our success.
We value diversity and inclusion and celebrate the differences that make each of us unique. Our culture is built on mutual respect, recognizing that the collective sum of our individual differences and life experiences fosters our continued success and achievement for our employee-owners and our clients.
Collaborating with colleagues from a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives leads to better solutions and opportunities for everyone. We celebrate the differences—age, color, physical ability, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, language, national origin, race, religion, veteran status, and other characteristics—that make each of us unique.
Who You Are
You hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree with major course work in environmental planning, policy, and/or science, or a related interdisciplinary field. Ideally you have experience in supporting stakeholder processes, bridging science and policy, preparing documents, and conducting analysis and assessments. Ideally you have subject matter and/or technical expertise in one or more areas: floodplain management, climate adaptation, salmon recovery, marine resources, or land use policy. Experience with tribal rights, environmental justice or diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) desired. Experience using and developing facilitation tools for online and in-person meetings and workshops a plus.
You are known for preparing documents that are clear, concise, well-written and supported and for your ability to present information understandably and speak persuasively about complex topics to colleagues, clients, agency staff, teaming partners, other project stakeholders and the general public.
You are an effective team member and communicator who contributes constructively and cooperatively to solve project or team issues while working collaboratively in a multi-disciplinary environment.
You work collaboratively with clients and interdisciplinary teams to deliver your projects on time and within budget and have developed and tracked scope, schedules, and budgets.
You are an effective team member with excellent oral and writing skills who proactively identifies and contributes constructively to address broad project or team issues, providing mentoring and coaching to more junior staff as you progress to foster teamwork.
What You Will Do for ESA
As an environmental planner, you will serve as a deputy project manager, task manager, contributing author for documents, facilitator, and/or facilitation support for conservation planning efforts. You will be responsible for coordinating task or project delivery schedules, handling project logistics, disseminating and maintaining related information and resources, assisting with budget tracking and invoicing, meeting with team members to gauge progress toward task completion, serve as the point person for team member or client questions, and deliver project assignments on time and within budget.
You will perform research and analysis to support planning and facilitation efforts in topics such as floodplain management, salmon recovery, climate change, and marine resource management. You will apply critical thinking and problem-solving. You will interact regularly with clients, stakeholders, and other interested parties. You will help plan and support meetings, including developing agendas, presentations, and meeting notes. You will also serve as a contributing author for SEPA and NEPA documents for public clients.
You will also consistently demonstrate your solid writing and attentive listening skills, participate in and/or lead client meetings, and present information understandably and speak persuasively about complex topics to clients, agency staff, teaming partners, other project stakeholders and the general public.
You will thrive in a fast-paced, challenging environment and be able to manage multiple responsibilities and deadlines, while working on a team or independently.
