We’re hiring an early-career Biologist to join our 10-person team on diverse projects across Northern and Central California. Our work spans infrastructure, restoration, open space, development, and renewable energy. The team combines junior and senior professionals with expertise in regulatory permitting; mitigation planning, monitoring, and reporting; special-status invertebrates; marine ecology; and botany, wetlands, and vegetation ecology.
In this role, you’ll conduct field surveys for rare and invasive plants, vegetation mapping, and wetland/stream delineations, and support office tasks such as report writing and preparing environmental permit applications. Fieldwork will take you through California’s varied ecosystems—from San Francisco Bay’s coastal salt marshes to Central Valley grasslands and vernal pools, and the Sierra foothills. We’re especially interested in candidates with some terrestrial invertebrate or pollinator ecology experience who want to learn protected pollinator surveys and habitat assessments.
We’re looking for a friendly, motivated, and adaptable biologist eager to grow their consulting career alongside experienced professionals. Expect opportunities to explore scenic places, encounter rare plants and insects, and contribute to projects that support a sustainable future.
To qualify, you should live within about 45 minutes of one of our Northern California offices (San Rafael, Petaluma, or Emeryville) for regular in-office collaboration and periodic field visits.
