Job Description
Environmental Science Associates (ESA) is an environmental science, planning, and design consulting firm committed to the principles of sound science, technical excellence, integrity, and the promotion of outstanding decision making and sustainability. As a 100 percent employee-owned company with offices located in California, Washington, Oregon, and Florida, continuing to meet the needs of our clients as well as the strategic aspirations of our employee-owners requires that we look to add the very best professional talent throughout our practices and offices. Specializing in project planning, environmental analysis and assessment, natural and cultural resources management, environmental restoration and design, and regulatory compliance, ESA’s scientists, historians, planners, designers, and technical specialists provide critical thinking and in-depth analyses to guide successful policy development, project planning, and the creation of enduring multi-objective solutions. Joining ESA means becoming part of a family of environmental professionals for whom every day involves growing your career, learning, creativity, fun, and the satisfaction knowing that you’ve contributed to outstanding iconic projects, improved environmental stewardship, and a more sustainable future for our communities and wild places.
About the Position:
ESA is seeking to fill an environmental planner position in one of our Los Angeles offices (Los Angeles, Pasadena, or Santa Monica). The position is focused on the development of high-quality environmental analyses and the provision of contract management support for important projects within the Los Angeles region. Emphasis will be placed on development of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documents. The position includes deputy project management roles (management of team, scope, schedule, and budget) to support our Project Managers and Senior Project Managers in the delivery of our work products and contracts. Opportunities are available with a wide range (i.e., small to large) of CEQA and environmental projects with both private and public clients. Project types include urban infill and high-rise development, campus projects (including hospitals and studios), transportation, and planning/resiliency.
Required Experience / Skills / Education
An ideal candidate must possess effective problem-solving ability, communication skills (both oral and written), and CEQA experience. ESA requires exceptional writing and editing capabilities of all our environmental planners and managers. Work products must be accurate, clear, and technically superior. The candidate must possess experience managing others, whether it be from within the environmental planning and/or A&E industry or through other experiences. These requirements include: experience organizing and motivating a team; accurate and effective communication with team members of various technical backgrounds and disciplines; and the ability to take responsibility for aspects of project, budget, and schedule performance, including performance of internal technical teams and subconsultants. Experience with CEQA is required. This role requires the initiative and confidence to uphold ESA’s strong work ethic and to work collaboratively in a multi-disciplinary team environment. Experience working with private and public clients in a private consulting role is necessary. Qualified candidates will have at least a BA/BS in a related discipline and 5 to 8 years of experience. The position will be calibrated to a candidate’s level of experience.
