Senior Environmental Planner/Project Manager

AECOM is growing in northern California and seeking candidates for a Senior Environmental Planner/Project Manager opportunity in our Sacramento office. The successful candidate would partner with other leaders in northern California and our multi-disciplinary team to engage with our expanding pool of public and private sector clients, and manage planning projects and associated environmental impact analyses, including CEQA compliance processes and documentation. The role would involve proactive marketing and business development, as well as coordinating with our Team to prepare proposals. May serve as a project manager, deputy project manager, task manager, or technical specialist, depending on the assignment.

While we anticipate that this position would focus on serving our growing public agency client base in northern California, the successful candidate should also anticipate having a meaningful voice in shaping our integrated environmental and community planning practice, which could include managing and mentoring of staff, helping to hone our strategic focus, and collaborating with other AECOM leaders and our clients to remain at the leading edge of environmental planning and community planning and design.

AECOM is seeking candidates with a demonstrated ability to understand our clients’ most important challenges and opportunities, manage environmental planning projects, develop proposals that speak to our differentiating qualities, and prepare deliverables that anticipate our clients’ needs.

Key responsibilities include:

• Partner with other leaders in our integrated urban environmental planning practice on business development activities, including proactive outreach to public agencies and private clients in northern California.
• Generate proposals and, with other members of our Team, anticipate, track, and obtain new task orders from existing clients.
• Plan, execute, and deliver environmental planning documents that meet our high-quality standards in collaboration with a broad and diverse range of technical specialists.
• Manage projects through completion in accordance with defined scopes of work and budgets.
• Engage staff, assign project responsibilities, and successfully manage internal teams and subcontractors.
• Manage preparation of technical studies and environmental documents for completeness, clarity, accuracy, and defensibility.
• Provide advice, mentor, and enhance the professional development of other members of our team.
