The ideal candidate will have strong technical writing and communication skills and demonstrated experience with New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and Division of Land Resource Protection (DLRP) permitting. A strong candidate will have technical expertise leading multi-media environmental permitting efforts under the purview of the DLRP and providing support for the development of

Projects are often fast-paced, multi-faceted, and geographically diverse. In this role, you will work closely with ERM Project Managers and Partners on a variety of environmental permitting, due diligence, and impact assessment projects to support our renewable energy, oil and gas, power, and technology sector clients. This is primarily an office-based role, with the opportunity to also support ecological field work as needed and presents an exciting opportunity to build impact assessment and environmental permitting expertise across the East Coast.
As a consultant at ERM, you will gain a wealth of experience across different sectors, clients, geographies and services. ERM's collaborative culture and nationwide network of experts provides knowledge sharing of best practices and ongoing learning opportunities for our consultants, allowing you to build your own individualized career path in client service delivery, project management, or technical disciplines.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Manage and provide technical expertise on multi-media permitting and compliance documentation, particularly DLRP-related activities in support of ERM clients’ capital projects (i.e., renewable energy projects, electric and gas utilities), serving in roles ranging from subject matter expert to QA/QC.
Prepare permit applications and compliance documentation with an emphasis on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Section 404/Section 10, and state-level wetland and waterbody permitting (Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey and Virginia experience preferred).
Coordination and consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Marine Fisheries Service, and various state and local agencies regarding protected species.
Conduct tasks related to environmental assessments that include but are not limited to land use planning/facility siting, pipeline and/or transmission line routing studies, renewable energy desktop and field-based environmental assessments and reporting, and development of permit matrices and risk assessments.
Perform project delivery activities such as conducting field surveys, collecting and organizing field survey data, performing research/ literature reviews, writing reports, and developing strategies and recommendations for clients as needed.
Work within

quality/budget/schedule

expectations and scope-specific assignments and develop a basic understanding of project management responsibilities.
Support ERM Partners-in-Charge and Project Managers to deliver exceptional client value on projects.
Work as an integral part of the Impact Assessment team and support the goals of the team.
REQUIREMENTS:
BS in environmental science, biology, natural resources, or related discipline.
4+ years (5-10 years preferred) of consulting experience with NJDEP and DLRP multi-media permitting.
Ecological field experience is desired.
Experience with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is a plus.
Effective written/verbal communication and

organization/analytical

skills.
Experience managing and writing technical reports and managing detailed technical data (including tabulation and manipulation of data).
Strong commitment to safety.
Detail-oriented with excellent critical thinking and

trouble-shooting/problem-solving

skills.
Excellent interpersonal communication skills, which includes being comfortable and effective at communicating technical knowledge and concepts to other staff, clients, regulatory agencies, and project stakeholders.
Ability to engage in multifaceted and dynamic situations and to collaborate with a team of experts to support work through the lifecycle of a project.
Ability to multi-task, maintain flexibility, travel (up to 25% if needed during field season), and work independently with minimal supervision.
Demonstrated attributes to become a strong consultant: team player, eagerness to learn and grow, self-starter who takes initiative, versatile, and service-oriented mentality.
Highly organized with keen eye for detail, but with the ability to maintain the big picture.
High level proficiency in Microsoft Office programs.
Valid driver’s license and good driving record.
