The Details 
Beyond your relevant expertise, we're looking for someone with the following skills: Verbal and written communication - you adjust your style to suit the audience and turn technical info into reader-friendly content without losing the meaning. Critical thinking – you ask probing questions and synthesize complex information to understand the project and its context, then develop that into a strategic permitting approach. Detail-oriented – the information you'll handle can be dense, the regulations are complex, and the projects are all different. You take care to review the details, because you know that details make a successful application. You'll be a key member of the project team, collaborating with engineers and technical experts to develop strategic project documents. You'll work with the regulatory agencies, beginning early in project design to confirm the regulatory process, potential environmental impacts, and unique requirements for the project. You'll communicate directly with clients to ensure success in all phases of work. 
You can count on growing here, as the scope of your portfolio and external contact will be much broader than you might find at a larger firm. You'll have the opportunity to mentor other environmental planners on the team while interacting regularly with principals who invest in your growth.
