What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Climate Modeler, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Climate Modeler, you need a strong background in atmospheric science, mathematics, and programming, often supported by an advanced degree in a related field. Familiarity with climate modeling software (such as WRF or CESM), statistical analysis tools, and proficiency in programming languages like Python or Fortran are typically required. Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and clear communication are vital for interpreting complex data and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams. These abilities ensure accurate climate predictions, effective research outcomes, and informed decision-making in environmental policy and planning.

What are some common challenges faced when collaborating remotely as a climate modeler, and how can they be addressed?

Remote climate modelers often work with interdisciplinary teams spread across different time zones, which can make real-time communication and data sharing challenging. To overcome these obstacles, it's important to establish clear communication channels and regular virtual meetings to align on project goals and timelines. Leveraging collaborative tools for code versioning, data management, and documentation also helps ensure smooth teamwork. Staying proactive about updates and maintaining open lines of feedback can significantly improve coordination and project outcomes.

What is remote climate modeling?

Remote climate modeling refers to the use of computer simulations and data analysis to study and predict climate patterns, typically from a remote location rather than a traditional office or laboratory. Professionals in this field use various climate models to understand atmospheric, oceanic, and land processes and assess future climate scenarios. This work often involves collaborating with scientists, analyzing large datasets, and using advanced software tools. Remote positions allow climate modelers to contribute to important environmental research while working from anywhere with a reliable internet connection.

Harris Miller Miller & Hanson Inc. (HMMH) is a national leader in assessing environmental impacts and analyzing mitigation strategies for major infrastructure projects as well as projects for private developers. Since 1981, we have supported aviation, highway, rail, transit, energy, industrial, and private-sector clients across the U.S.
We are seeking a Managing Consultant to join our Surface Transportation group in a remote or hybrid role out of one of our California-based offices. This position combines air quality and climate change project leadership with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) expertise and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) experience with a focus on transportation infrastructure. Experience with projects for private developers such as residential and mixed-use developments and renewable and conventional energy is considered a plus.
This role includes technical execution, project management, and business development with California agencies and private clients, such as Caltrans, metropolitan planning organizations, transit agencies, local jurisdictions, and private developers. Travel up to 25% may be required for fieldwork, client engagement, and industry participation (i.e., ACEC CA, AWMA, AEP, TRB, INCE).
Position Responsibilities:
  • Manage small to midsize air quality, climate change, and/or CEQA projects from initiation through closeout.
  • Perform air quality modeling using California based models such as EMFAC and CalEEMod.
  • Complete air quality modeling using federally recognized models such as the United States Environmental Protection Agency's MOVES model and AERMOD.
  • Prepare technical analyses and reports in support of CEQA permitting efforts such as IS, MND, and EIR documents.
  • Assist with preparing NEPA documents and supporting materials (primarily Categorical Exclusions and Environmental Assessments)
  • Prepare CEQA-compliant air quality analyses, including:
    • Construction and operational emissions
    • Criteria pollutants and precursors
    • Health risk assessments (as applicable)
    • Greenhouse gas (GHG) analysis
  • Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure technical consistency.
  • Supervise staff and support technical development.
  • Lead or support proposals, cost estimates, and business development planning in California.
  • Meet with existing and potential clients to aid in business development efforts.
  • Conduct field measurements and attend client/industry meetings as needed.
  • Other duties as assigned.

Minimum Requirements:
  • BA/BS in environmental science, engineering, atmospheric science, physics, math, or related technical field.
  • 5-15 years of relevant experience.
  • Demonstrated experience preparing CEQA documents and analyses, including air quality and climate change analyses for transportation or infrastructure projects in California.
  • Familiarity with California air district thresholds and CARB programs.
  • Project management experience (small to midsize projects).
  • Experience developing and executing business development plans.
  • Strong analytical and technical writing skills.
  • Ability to work independently and in team environments.
  • Willingness to travel up to 25%.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Staff supervision experience.
  • Extensive CEQA experience, including EIR preparation.
  • Experience with EMFAC, MOVES, AERMOD, and health risk assessment modeling.
  • Knowledge of NEPA and joint CEQA/NEPA documents.
  • ArcGIS and/or data management/programming experience (e.g., Python, SQL).
  • Active involvement in industry or technical committees.

Location:
  • California: Remote
  • San Diego, California: Hybrid
  • Anaheim, California: Hybrid
