Staff Environmental Planner

Maul Foster & Alongi, Inc. (MFA) is hiring a Staff Environmental Planner to join our thoughtful, collaborative team.

In this role, you'll contribute to meaningful, real-world work that connects policy with impact.

Throughout it all, you'll collaborate with scientists, engineers, and other planners while building your skills, growing your confidence, and deepening your understanding of how interdisciplinary teams solve complex challenges.

To thrive in this role, you must have...

A bachelor's degree in Environmental Science, Urban Planning, Natural Resources, or a related field.
2+ years of relevant planning, permitting, or related experience
Clear and effective communication skills, both written and verbal.
An understanding of or eagerness to learn about how land use, policy, and environmental regulations influence projects.
A strong sense of organization, problem solving abilities, and a collaborative work style.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office or Google Suite; familiarity with GIS or permitting tools is a plus.

Experience with NEPA/SEPA. Shoreline permitting, or Oregon land use laws.
Interest in pursuing AICP certification.
