Job Summary
We're looking for a detail-oriented Environmental Field Coordinator to join our team at Soar Environmental in an on-call, fully remote capacity. This role is ideal for someone on flexibility and enjoys the challenge of keeping complex projects on track. Because this is an on-call position, your weekly hours will fluctuate based on project demand — ranging anywhere from 10 to 40 hours. As the Environmental Field Coordinator, you'll be the person who turns a tangle of moving parts-tasks, timelines, resources, and dependencies — into a clear, workable plan that keeps everyone moving in the same direction.
Duties
- Schedule biological, archaeological, paleontological, SWPPP/environmental, and other field monitors.
- Coordinate daily and weekly staffing needs with Project Managers and field leads.
- Maintain a master field-monitoring calendar across projects.
- Confirm monitor availability and assign personnel to projects.
- Coordinate last-minute schedule changes, cancellations, call-outs and emergency coverage.
- Ensure assigned monitors have the required qualifications, training, certifications and project approvals.
- Track project-specific requirements such as approved biologists/archaeologists, tribal monitors, nesting-bird restrictions, WEAP requirements, permits and mitigation measures.
- Coordinate mobilization times, site locations, access requirements and client/contractor contacts.
- Send daily or weekly assignments to field staff.
- Track who is scheduled, onsite, unavailable, on PTO or available for deployment.
- Coordinate subcontractor monitors when internal staff aren't available.
- Help manage overtime and avoid unnecessary travel/mobilization costs.
- Maintain contact lists and monitor rosters.
- Track field vehicles, equipment or other logistical needs where applicable.
- Communicate schedule changes to PMs, construction teams and monitors.
- Assist with timesheet/project-code accuracy and confirm field hours.
- Identify upcoming staffing shortages early enough for management to respond.
- Maintain records showing environmental coverage was provided when required.
Qualifications
- At least 1 year of applicable experience in project scheduling (construction, IT,
- engineering, or similar project-based industries all count)
- Proficiency in technical project scheduling software
- Strong communication skills — you'll be translating schedule details for people
- with different levels of technical familiarity, so clarity matters
- Solid analytical skills — the ability to look at a schedule, spot the risk or the
- inefficiency, and propose a fix
- Bachelor's degree (required)
- California residency (required for this position)
- Comfort working independently in a remote environment with a variable schedule
If you like the structure of scheduling work but enjoy the flexibility of an on-call, as needed schedule, this on-call structure gives you room to flex your time around other commitments — while still doing meaningful, skilled work that keeps real projects running smoothly. Join us at Soar Environmental Consulting to make a meaningful impact on environmental stewardship while advancing your career in a supportive and innovative environment!
