Description

HELIX Environmental Planning, Inc. (HELIX), a growing, employee-owned California-based environmental consulting and planning firm, is seeking a team orientated and motivated Sr. Biology Project Manager with critical thinking skills and a strong work ethic, to join our Northern California team. This position will focus primarily on project work in the Central Valley or Bay Area of California. Position would be assigned to our Roseville or Folsom Office, but the position would primarily be a remote position. HELIX provides biological, CEQA/NEPA, cultural resource management, habitat restoration, regulatory permitting, environmental compliance monitoring, acoustics and noise control, GIS, and air quality and greenhouse gas services to both the public and private sectors.

Why work at HELIX?

The Senior Biology Project Manager may be required to conduct biological fieldwork on occasion; however, primary responsibilities are not fieldwork related. The ideal candidate must possess strong communication, analytical, and creative problem-solving skills because critical aspects of this position include developing solutions for project challenges, forging strong, collaborative relationships, and building consensus among team members, clients, and agencies. A flexible mindset and adaptability to changing circumstances is imperative.

Senior Biology Project Manager Responsibilities:

• Serve as project manager for a variety of biological resources-related projects that range from small in size and scope, to large and complex that require an expert understanding of local and regional biological resources and regulations
• Lead the day-to-day project management tasks, including client management, team building, scheduling, work delegation, subconsultant coordination, quality assurance/quality control reviews, budget and deliverable deadline tracking, deliverable production, invoicing, contracting, and accounts receivable
• Lead the preparation of due diligence/constraints reports, biological technical reports (including impact analysis and mitigation measures for CEQA/NEPA compliance), focused survey reports, regional conservation plan consistency documents (e.g., NCCP/HCP, MSCP, MSHCP, etc.), restoration/mitigation plans, annual monitoring reports, and other related documents for projects throughout multiple jurisdictions/locations
• 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 $140,000 annually.
