WRA’s an employee-owned environmental consultancy. We are a tenacious team of planners, engineers, and scientists, and we aim to leave the lands we love better than we found them.
Our clients and partners hire us because we’re skilled at navigating through challenging projects involving wildlands, parks, community spaces, and infrastructure. We bring over four decades of expertise, long-standing relationships, and connections to our local communities to make sure that projects are pursued in responsible ways where both people and the environment thrive.
As an organization, we believe that independence and interdependence are not mutually exclusive. We invest in systems, processes, and employee programs to support our staff’s collective engagement and success. At the same time, we encourage our employees to operate with an ownership mindset, taking responsibility for outcomes and being true to our commitments. While this position includes some fieldwork on a seasonal basis, the primary responsibilities of this position are office-based.
We are actively seeking someone with a marine/estuarine biology or coastal ecology background to support WRA’s marine services, shoreline permitting, and coastal habitat restoration lines of work. If you have experience with and an understanding of coastal or marine biology and you would be excited to apply your skills to the field of state and federal environmental regulatory compliance, we want to talk to you about joining one of our teams. Ideal candidates have a knack for critical thinking, problem solving, and working collaboratively with teams. This position offers real opportunities for advancement, including interfacing with clients and agency staff, public speaking, and staff supervision.
The person hired for this role will need to reside within commuting distance to one of our three Northern California offices (San Rafael, Petaluma, and Emeryville), as periodic site visits and field work will be required.
