  • Demonstrated competency with State and Federal environmental regulations governing offshore and marine construction activities (e.g., BOEM/BSEE, NMFS, USACE, state coastal programs).
  • Experience contributing to environmental reports, impact evaluations, siting analyses, and permit documentation.
  • Strong communication skills, including the ability to explain regulatory requirements and environmental commitments to vessel crews and construction managers.
  • Ability to work independently in offshore environments while providing leadership and QA/QC oversight to junior field staff.
