  • Minimum of 10 years of experience in habitat restoration, environmental planning, or a related field.
  • Proven track record of successfully managing complex environmental projects, including budget and timeline management.
  • Strong knowledge of ecological principles and restoration techniques pertinent to the Great Lakes region.
  • Demonstrated leadership abilities, with experience in leading multidisciplinary teams and fostering a collaborative working environment.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to prepare clear and concise reports.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to make data-driven decisions and develop creative and practical solutions to restoration challenges.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Professional certifications related to environmental planning or habitat restoration (e.g., Certified Ecological Restoration Practitioner, arborist, etc.).
  • Familiarity with the Great Lakes region’s ecological, cultural, and regulatory landscape.
  • Experience with wetland and stream mitigation banking, such as site selection, design, permitting, construction oversight, and monitoring.
