Integral Consulting Inc. Careers

Description

About You 

You are an experienced professional in the environmental regulatory and compliance field with an advanced scientific degree. You have a background in a field of biology (e.g., Botany, Fisheries, or Wildlife Biology) with experience in California. You are a strategic thinker who thrives on the challenges of complex, interdisciplinary regulatory matters. You have working knowledge and experience with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), federal and state Endangered Species Acts, Clean Water Act, and other relevant environmental laws. You have an interest, or direct experience, identifying project commensurate compensatory mitigation efforts and wish to learn more about mitigation banking and other opportunities to conserve critical lands. 

As a lifelong learner, you want to keep growing intellectually and professionally. Collaborating with colleagues with diverse expertise is exciting for you, but you are also comfortable working independently. You effectively manage large projects, oversee and delegate technical tasks, produce high quality written deliverables, and exceed internal and external client expectations. You are highly detail oriented, organized, timely, and consistently see tasks through completion. You have broad experience communicating key concepts orally and in written form to the lay person, teaming partners, regulators, attorneys, and clients. Quality management and integrity are among your strongest principles. You are looking for a platform where your ideas are taken seriously, and you have opportunities to grow in your technical area and in the firm as a whole.
