Rincon Consultants is seeking a Biological Regulatory Specialist/Project Manager to support our growing team. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys navigating the regulatory landscape, managing technical and permitting projects, and mentoring junior staff. You'll work on diverse projects across sectors such as utilities, energy, water, and transportation.

While this role may offer flexible work arrangements that can include a mix of in-office and remote work, our changing business needs will ultimately determine our level of remote-work flexibility.

The ideal candidate would be located within 50 miles of our San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, or Sacramento offices.

Technical Work

Identify optimal permitting strategies for complex, multi-agency projects.
Prepare and oversee high-quality deliverables, including:

Biological Resource Assessments (BRA)
CEQA/NEPA biological sections
Jurisdictional delineations and permit applications

Conduct or manage fieldwork, such as wetland delineations, special-status species surveys, and CRAM assessments.
Interpret and apply relevant local, state, and federal regulations (e.g., Clean Water Act, ESA, CESA, Coastal Act).
Collaborate with clients, agencies, and technical teams to ensure efficient project execution.

Project Management

Lead moderate-size biological assessment and permitting projects or major components of larger efforts.
Oversee scopes, schedules, budgets, and deliverables.
Serve as primary point of contact with clients and regulatory agencies.
Provide mentorship and direction to team members and subcontractors.
Uphold QA/QC processes and ensure technical excellence across all work products.

Business Development

Participate in client outreach, proposal preparation, and cost/schedule development.
Help identify opportunities to grow Rincon’s regional project portfolio and/or engage with one of our key market sector teams.
