  • Experience leading multidisciplinary projects, managing clients, and supporting business development efforts.
  • Demonstrated success mentoring and leading technical staff and project teams.
  • Knowledge of California environmental regulations, agency coordination, and natural resource management.
  • Ability to function as a trusted advisor to clients while helping grow and strengthen a biological resources practice.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Strong mix of leadership, technical oversight, client management, and business development responsibilities.
  • Positive, collaborative company culture with a focus on employee development and long-term career growth.
  • Chance to step into a successful program while having the autonomy to implement new ideas and drive future expansion.
Location & Schedule
  • Southern California based.
  • Primarily office-based with occasional field work.
  • Most projects are located throughout Southern and Central California, with limited overnight travel requirements.
