AECOM is actively seeking a highly motivated Biologist for remote employment. This position would predominantly support a large gas and electric utility in the southern California region with a focus on Natural Resources. This position is a remote adjunct position, with hours ranging between 30 and 36 hours per week. This position would provide coordination and natural resources expertise for construction projects, supporting the projects from the design phase, through construction, to the post-construction phase.

Activities may include, but are not limited to, desktop analysis, coordination with internal and external stakeholders, issuing work to consultants, review of reports, compliance documentation, direct coordination with construction personnel, and implementation of their programmatic Environmental permits.
