Maul Foster & Alongi, Inc. (MFA) is seeking a full-time Environmental Planner with the flexibility to work out of any of our offices. As our Environmental Planner, you will manage diverse projects, primarily in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, collaborating with clients and stakeholders. Your project management expertise, coupled with a passion for land use and environmental planning will drive successful outcomes. As an Environmental Planner, you will be involved in all aspects of project execution, from analysis, report and proposal writing to comprehensive project management. This is an opportunity to work on an array of different projects, as the prime contact for clients, shaping the future of communities and making a tangible impact.

As an Environmental Planner, you will...

work on a wide variety of projects that help clients move important site development, restoration, and infrastructure projects forward throughout the Pacific Northwest.

This role is highly collaborative, and relationship driven. You'll work closely with planners, scientists, engineers, GIS specialists, and communications professionals while building strong relationships with clients, agencies, and project partners. As you grow in the role, you'll have opportunities to mentor junior staff, contribute to business development efforts, attend conferences and industry events, and continue developing your own area of expertise within environmental planning and permitting.

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

Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science, Urban Planning, Natural Resources, or a related field.
5+ years of professional experience in environmental planning, permitting, or land use planning.
Experience coordinating with regulatory agencies and preparing permit applications.
