  • Lead the preparation and processing of regulatory permits with the various resource agencies, including Clean Water Act Section 404/401, Porter-Cologne Waste Discharge Requirements, Fish and Game Code Section 1602 Streambed Alteration Agreements, federal Endangered Species Act Section 7, and California Endangered Species Act Section 2080.1/2081 authorizations. Lead agency interface and negotiations, including mitigation requirements, permit conditions, and approval of mitigation/restoration sites
  • Lead proposals, interviews, and participate in business development activities for HELIX
  • Assist with mentoring and training of less experienced team members

Pay will be based on qualifications and/or experience, with a robust benefits package. Expected starting pay range of $115,000 to $150,000 annually.
