Environmental Science Associates (ESA) is excited to grow our team with dedicated staff to support a large scale energy client in California. We are seeking experienced environmental consultants who are ready to apply their expertise in technical disciplines like biological resources (i.e., aquatic resources), cultural resources, paleontological resources, and geospatial service delivery as well as administrative and operational coordination to support the integrated workflows for this contract program. We are building a contract program team who are proactive, hands-on problem solvers with an interest in being part of a dynamic firm and contributing to our people-focused, employee-owner culture.
About the Utility Program
Our team will be supporting a utility client that is focused on fortifying their electrical grid and modernizing its infrastructure to support clean energy initiatives.

The increased workload requires the team to deliver efficient, consistent, and well-organized environmental compliance governance and oversight, in compliance with the environmental regulatory framework requiring biological, cultural, paleontological, waters and wetlands, coastal resources, construction stormwater, air quality, remediation, and hazardous waste management analysis across its vast service area. ESA’s program leadership for this contract includes several former staff from this client and is also adept in the nuances of overseeing this contract – we know how to create a fulfilling and rewarding experience in supporting this client, so all of our team members benefit from career development opportunities in meeting the needs of this contract.
The candidates we are looking for must meet the contract-specific requirements (i.e., background checks, etc.) for this client.
