  • Leverage your understanding of codes, regulations, and professional standards of practice to align project scopes with client objectives and regulatory requirements and deliver superior client value.
  • Develop and grow relationships with municipal and utility clients by understanding their operational and regulatory challenges and identifying opportunities to provide additional value. Serve as a trusted technical representative for municipal and utility clients, advising them on stormwater compliance obligations, regulatory risks, and practical implementation strategies.
  • Support project managers with technical strategy, scope development, quality review, client communications, and resolution of complex regulatory issues.
  • Leverage your learning to increase the technical capabilities of others and the overall technical performance of the company.
  • Excel in your field by engaging with external organizations, delivering internal and external presentations, and contributing to technical publications.
  • Play a significant role in client and agency communications and negotiations.
  • Lead all work in accordance with company and client health and safety protocols.
  • Demonstrate the company's foundational safety behaviors.

SKILLS/EXPERIENCE

  • Bachelor's degree in environmental science, environmental policy, natural resources, or a related field.
  • 15+ years of applicable experience in stormwater management, environmental regulatory compliance, or a related field.
  • Demonstrated expertise with municipal stormwater/MS4 programs, utility-scale stormwater compliance, NPDES permits, and California Water Boards requirements.
  • Demonstrated ability to develop regulatory strategies and lead audits, inspections, compliance evaluations, and regulatory reporting.
  • Experience serving as a client-facing technical representative and advising clients on complex regulatory and compliance matters.
  • Ability to lead multidisciplinary technical assignments while effectively supporting project managers, client account leaders, and project teams.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including communicating and presenting technical and regulatory information to clients, regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders.
  • Ability to apply emotional intelligence to achieve greater impact in project team, client, and regulator communications.
  • Demonstrated ability to mentor staff, transfer technical knowledge, and support the professional development of project team members.
  • Demonstrated ability to develop and maintain municipal and utility client relationships.
  • Ability to work remotely or from the Oakland or Walnut Creek office while effectively collaborating with clients and multidisciplinary teams.

Preferred Skills:

  • Master's degree or other advanced degree in environmental science, environmental policy, natural resources, or a related field.
  • California Professional Engineer registration.
  • Current CASQA Qualified SWPPP Practitioner (QSP) and/or Qualified SWPPP Developer (QSD) certification.
  • Experience with construction stormwater permitting and compliance programs.
  • Experience with industrial stormwater permitting and compliance programs.
  • Experience developing and growing consulting relationships with municipal agencies and utility clients in California.
