About the Position:
The County of San Luis Obispo is offering an exciting career opportunity for an environmental professional to join the Environmental Programs Division within the Department of Public Works. This Environmental Resource Specialist will join an eight-member team conducting a wide range of environmental services for public infrastructure projects. Currently, professionals in the Division have specialized skills in the areas of planning, resource law, biology, botany, wetlands, regulatory permitting, archeology, and restoration. The Division represents a full-service environmental team, capable of processing complex State and Federally funded projects entirely in house.
In general, Environmental Resource Specialists apply planning and natural resource science to promote environmentally sound operations and projects, sustainable management of natural resources, and adherence to environmental planning and regulatory requirements. These positions bridge natural resource disciplines including, but not limited to: geology, soils, hydrology, plant and wildlife ecology, resource law, cultural resources, and public policy. Environmental Resource Specialists bring analytical skills to bear on decisions about the appropriate use of land and natural resources; the appropriate application of local, State, and Federal planning; environmental and resource laws and policies; provide expertise in environmental processes to department management and staff; and perform related duties as required.
The Ideal Candidate:
While the incumbent will perform the full spectrum of Environmental Resource Specialist work, candidates with a solid background in CEQA analysis and document preparation are highly desired. Additionally, candidates with the ability to conduct a wide range of field work (biological, botanical, or archeological) are encouraged to apply.
