Job Type
Full-time
Description
At HELIX Environmental Planning, you'll join an employee-owned team where people, purpose, and passion for the environment drive everything we do. If you're energized by hands-on habitat restoration, teamwork, and meaningful fieldwork, this role is your pathway to growth.
Why HELIX Stands Out
HELIX is a thriving, employee-owned environmental consulting firm known for its collaborative culture, career development focus, and commitment to doing work that matters. We work across California's coast, foothills, mountains, and desert ecosystems-restoring habitats, supporting clients, and supporting each other.
Benefits and culture highlights include: flexible hybrid schedules, robust health coverage, bonuses, paid time off, ESOP participation, 401(k) contributions, and national recognition as a top environmental firm.
A Day in the Life
As an Assistant Project Manager in our Construction Group, your day blends fieldwork, project coordination, and client-facing teamwork. You might start your morning in the field installing native seed or inspecting stormwater BMPs, then transition to the office to update project tracking tools or contribute to proposals. You'll support Project Managers, help supervise habitat restoration crews, and play a key role in keeping restoration projects on track.
Every day brings new challenges, new learning experiences, and the satisfaction of seeing your restoration work thrive in the real world.
What You'll Do

• Support Project Managers in planning and coordinating habitat restoration projects
• Participate in fieldwork: irrigation installation, plant removal, seeding, grading, erosion control, BMP installation
• Use tools such as FieldMaps, Field Suite Services (FSS), Survey123 for project tracking
• Assist with proposals, cost estimating, pre/post-bid walks, schedules, and documentation
• Supervise crews and maintain field logs and reporting
• Cultivate positive client interactions and help identify business opportunities

Schedule & Flexibility

• Primarily Riverside based
