  internal teams and external parties (e.g., consultants) to execute
  project work on schedule, and develop strategies to address
  environmental-related issues.
• Maintain relationships and support federal and state regulatory
  agency consultation.
• Maintain comprehensive knowledge of environmental policy, regulation
  and compliance that affect permitting and impacts on project siting
  and compliance.
• Participate in regional and national initiatives, symposia,
  conferences, and industry groups as needed to achieve Company
  objectives.

Requirements

• Experience interpreting federal and state environmental laws (ESA,
  NEPA, CWA), guidelines, and policies, and developing project
  strategies for compliance with the same.
• 1 year in renewable energy or 2+ years in a similar industry with
  experience managing responsibilities similar to those listed above.
• Under guidance or instruction, must be self-directed and detail
  oriented, with the ability and desire to work effectively in a team
  environment to complete tasks on time.
• Able to act and adapt to a fast-paced business environment with
  competing deadlines, and quickly learn and implement internal
  processes.
• Strong attention to detail, assuring documents and communications
  are concise and accurate.
• Ability to navigate ArcGIS and Google Earth to interpret
  environmental spatial data and identify potential project risks.
