The Senior Biology Project Manager’s responsibilities include managing complex biological resources-related projects, leading biological due diligence assessments, biological constraints studies, biological technical reports, regulatory permit applications, and agency negotiation during the environmental review and permitting process. The position will also include developing solutions to complex biological issues, coordinating with clients and regulatory agencies on mitigation strategies, and leading proposals, interviews, and business development activities for the biology division.
The Senior Biology Project Manager may be required to conduct biological fieldwork on occasion; however, primary responsibilities are not fieldwork related. The ideal candidate must possess strong analytical and creative problem-solving skills because critical aspects of this position include developing solutions for project challenges, forging strong, collaborative relationships, and building consensus among team members, clients, and agencies. Familiarity with regional HCPs, including but not limited to, the South Sacramento Habitat Conservation Plan, Placer County Conservation Program, and San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan is desirable.
Pay will be based on qualifications and/or experience, with a robust benefits package. Expected starting pay range of $110,000 to $130,000 annually.
