You will also conduct on-site construction compliance monitoring to ensure special-status species and habitat impact avoidance, and compliance monitoring for mitigation projects to ensure consistency with articulated performance criteria. In this role you will support regulatory reviews to minimize impacts to regulated habitats, develop alternative analyses, and complete impact assessments.
