• Working with a multi-disciplinary team of subject matter experts conducting field work, studies, and technical analysis for impact assessment.

This role will have a hybrid work structure as mentioned above; however, as needed, you would attend in-person meetings and conduct site visits related to development of NEPA documentation. This role may require the ability to travel.
