Job Description and Duties
The California Coastal Commission (Commission) is seeking experienced Environmental Scientists to join its Energy, Ocean Resources & Federal Consistency Division in its Headquarters Office in downtown San Francisco. The Commission is a small State agency that is charged with protecting coastal resources and managing coastal development in California. The mission of the Commission is to implement the Coastal Act and to provide for the balanced use of the coastal zone and to protect, restore, and enhance coastal and marine resources for the continuing benefit of current and future generations.
The Commission regulates and plans for development within offshore waters and on land along the California coast. The Commission reviews offshore and onshore energy related activities (offshore wind farm leasing and development, decommissioning of oil and gas facilities, coastal power plant operations, oil and natural gas storage and transport) and other offshore development (marine protection and restoration, aquaculture facilities, fiber optic cables, and desalination) for consistency with the California Coastal Act. It also has authority under the federal Coastal Zone Management Act to review federal and federally-permitted activities such as wind energy leasing, dredging, military training exercises and transportation projects that affect resources of the coastal zone.
Staff members of the Energy, Ocean Resources and Federal Consistency Division develop recommendations to the Commission on the above-described project types and carry out research and studies on energy, ocean resource, and federal consistency policy issues.
We are searching for individuals to join the Energy, Ocean Resources and Federal Consistency Division to work on permitting and environmental review of offshore wind energy development and related infrastructure, as well as a variety of other project types including energy generation, storage and transport, operation and decommissioning of oil and gas infrastructure and power plants, and federal consistency projects (i.e., dredging and sediment management, navigation improvements, habitat management and restoration on federal lands, military training, testing, and construction activities, transportation infrastructure projects). These individuals may also work on desalination, marine restoration and artificial reefs, aquaculture, marine spatial planning and other ocean resource projects and policy issues.
