Full Job Description

Associate or Senior Wildlife Biologist/Regulatory Specialist (Folsom, CA)

Dokken’s Environmental Division is seeking an Associate and/or Senior Biologist/Regulatory
Specialist in our Folsom, CA office.

At Dokken, you would help shape public
infrastructure that protects natural resources and
improves communities across California. Dokken
provides environmental clearances, permits, and
designs for important local, state, and federally
funded projects, including trails, roads, bridges, water
facilities, transit systems, and other public works
facilities.

Our environmental team works on projects where

your wildlife biology and regulatory expertise directly influence habitat conservation, species
protection, and creative infrastructure designs. We have a collaborative, multidisciplinary culture
where your curiosity is encouraged, your ideas matter, and you can grow your career at the
pace that suits you while making a real impact on the places people live, travel, and explore.

Dokken’s in-house environmental team consists of biologists, arborists, archaeologists, noise/air
experts, environmental planners, GIS professionals, and regulatory permitting specialists.

Why Dokken?:
At Dokken, we’re more than a workplace—we are an employee-owned company and a tight-knit

our biology team, you’ll experience the beautiful diversity of California firsthand—from coastal
and desert environments to Central Valley floodplains and the
Sierra Nevada foothills.

Beyond fieldwork, you’ll gain a detailed understanding of
the full project lifecycle, collaborating across disciplines and
seeing how biology integrates into planning, design,
permitting, and construction. You’ll build lasting relationships
with clients and agency staff while contributing to meaningful
projects that shape communities. We empower our team
members to think creatively, ask questions, and challenge the
status quo—your ideas and perspective truly matter here. We
also encourage active participation in professional
organizations such as the American Public Works
Association, The Wildlife Society, and the California
Association of Environmental Professionals. We are
committed to supporting your growth, curiosity, and long-term
career development.
