Step into a leadership role where strategy, influence, and environmental impact intersect. As a Principal Planner, you’ll shape the future of environmental planning across Northern California while helping grow a respected, employee-owned consulting firm. This Principal Planner role is ideal for a seasoned leader ready to drive business development, mentor high-performing teams, and deliver complex CEQA/NEPA projects with excellence.

Why HELIX?

At HELIX Environmental Planning, we’re passionate about smart growth, environmental stewardship, and collaborative problem-solving.

We value flexibility, trust, and long-term career growth.

A Day in the Life

A typical day as a Principal Planner includes leading high-visibility CEQA/NEPA projects, connecting with key clients and agencies, mentoring planners and specialists, and collaborating across HELIX disciplines. You’ll represent HELIX in meetings, interviews, and industry events while playing a strategic role in expanding our Northern California Environmental Planning Group.

What You’ll Do

As a Principal Planner, you will:

Lead corporate and regional business development initiatives
Build and strengthen long-term client and agency relationships
Identify and pursue new contract opportunities and preferred clients
Manage large, complex CEQA/NEPA compliance projects and on-call contracts
Ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to HELIX standards
Prepare proposals and participate in interviews to win new work
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across HELIX offices
Represent HELIX at public meetings, hearings, and professional events
Mentor, recruit, and develop environmental planning staff

Salary will be based on qualifications and/or experience, with a robust benefits package. Expected starting pay range of $145,000 to $195,000.
