You are a strong, clear communicator who can work effectively with construction crews, clients, and agency representatives in high-pressure field environments.
You are organized, self-directed, and reliable - when a survey needs to happen tomorrow, you're ready.

BLM-approved botanist status or formal botany training and field experience.
Experience with multiple species surveys beyond desert tortoise (nesting birds, raptors, burrowing owls, sensitive plant species).
Familiarity with NEPA, ESA Section 7 and Section 10, and state-level environmental permitting in Nevada, California, or Utah.
Experience working on energy, transmission, utility, or large-scale infrastructure projects.
Prior consulting experience in a private-sector environmental firm.
