Position Overview:
NRG is seeking an Environmental Scientist or Engineer to join our recently established and evolving staff base in Baton Rouge as part of our Houston-directed Gulf Coast operation. The specialist would assist mainly with energy-related capital development and compliance initiatives, with an emphasis on FERC-regulated pipeline and underground storage facility construction projects. However, this regulatory focus may expand beyond the immediate arena of energy-related projects to tangential industries such as chemical processing and manufacturing.
The ideal candidate will possess the skills and experience necessary to work in a technical and managerial capacity on multiple concurrent projects. He/she will have the opportunity to serve as a task manager on large multi-disciplinary projects or as the overall manager on smaller projects, with the necessary oversight and support from senior regional staff.
The individual will assist with regulatory research, data collation and analysis, and the preparation and review of various technical documents or document sections (resource reports, EAs, EISs, permit applications, etc.). He/she will attend agency/public meetings as required, prepare scope of work documents for subcontractors, review project proposals, and manage the work of subconsultants and field survey crews. The position will require client interactions and some assistance with business development and proposal preparation.
Project work may involve some travel for agency meetings, project team meetings, and/or fieldwork but typically each trip would be of limited duration (one to three days) and total travel time would likely be less than 10 percent of work time.
Required Qualifications (Skills, Experience, and Education):
Suitable candidates would possess a Bachelors of Science degree in the life/earth sciences or engineering and four to eight years of relevant work experience. Top consideration will be given to candidates with environmental consulting experience. Other assets will include a working knowledge of endangered species and wetland policy, natural resources management agencies, soil science, GPS technology, and map interpretation (e.g., NWI, USGS, aerial photography).
A thorough working knowledge of Microsoft Office Suite software programs is necessary. Ideal candidates will possess strong oral and written communication skills, keen detail orientation, and recognized organizational abilities.
Self-motivated, quick learning, flexible individuals who have a common-sense approach to conducting business and workload management will be most successful.
