CEQA / NEPA Project Manager
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key content:
Location(s): Pasadena or Santa Barbara
Practice/Department: CEQA/NEPA
Work Environment: Hybrid
Compensation: $110,000-$160,000 annually
Then description about Dudek, etc.
Then "Who You Are" (maybe part of About the role? Could be "About the role").
Then "How You’ll Make an Impact" (maybe part of About the role).
Then "This hybrid role will be tied to our Pasadena or Santa Barbara offices."
Then "Duties and Responsibilities" with bullet list.
Then sections under Duties: Project Management and Execution, Client and Partner Engagement, Financial Performance and Contract Management, Team Leadership and Mentorship, Technical and Regulatory Expertise, Business Development and Industry Engagement. Those are subheadings but we only need to output - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can flatten all duties into a list under Responsibilities.
Then "Minimum Qualifications" list.
Then "Preferred Qualifications" list.
Then "Compensation: $110,000-$160,000 annually" repeated.
Then "Final agreed-upon compensation will be based on a variety of factors..." (maybe part of Pay section). Also "Successful candidates must pass a pre-employment drug test and background check prior to beginning employment." That's maybe part of Requirements? Could be under Requirements.
Then "Working Conditions" description.
Then "Physical Requirements" list.
Then "Connect with us!" social media (boilerplate? maybe drop). Then EEO statements (drop). Then "Dudek is a U.S.-based employer..." (maybe drop as boilerplate). So we need to keep substantive info: location, hybrid, compensation, duties, minimum qualifications, preferred qualifications, working conditions, physical requirements.
We need sections: About the role (maybe include company overview, who you are, how you'll make impact). Responsibilities (duties). Requirements (maybe minimum qualifications?). Qualifications (maybe preferred qualifications?). Skills (maybe technical skills? Could be from qualifications). Benefits (none given). Pay (compensation). Schedule (maybe hybrid? Not exactly schedule). The posting mentions hybrid work environment, but not schedule specifics. Could we create a Schedule section? Only if posting actually states schedule. It says hybrid role, but not specific schedule like full-time, part-time. Might be considered schedule? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It states compensation, so Pay section is okay. It does not explicitly state schedule (like hours). It says hybrid work environment, but that's more about work environment, not schedule. So we should not create Schedule section unless there is explicit schedule info. So we omit Schedule.
Benefits: not stated, so omit.
Skills: we could extract from qualifications: communication, organization, project management, technical writing, presentation, interpersonal skills, proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite. Also maybe "technical leadership". Could be a Skills section.
Qualifications: maybe we separate Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications into Qualifications section? But we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings allowed. We need to decide what goes where. Typically Requirements = minimum qualifications, Qualifications = preferred qualifications. Skills = specific skills.
Thus:
- About the role: include company overview, who you are, how you'll make impact, location/hybrid.
- Responsibilities: list of duties (from Duties and Responsibilities).
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications list.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications list.
- Skills: list of skills (communication, organization, project management, technical writing, presentation, interpersonal skills, proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, valid driver's license, ability to travel). Also maybe "technical leadership". But we can include those.
- Pay: compensation range.
We must not invent filler. Ensure we preserve all substantive info.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use
for each section heading. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title. Not include Job ID etc.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, social media, etc.
Let's craft.
First, About the role: combine company overview, who you are, how you'll make impact, location/hybrid.
Prose: maybe multiple paragraphs.
We'll include location and hybrid as part of About.
Now Responsibilities: list each duty bullet.
We have many duty bullet points under each subheading. We'll combine them into a single list.
Let's extract:
Project Management and Execution:
- Manage CEQA and NEPA projects from initiation through completion, including scope, schedule, budget, staffing, and deliverables.
- Lead multidisciplinary teams and coordinate technical staff and subconsultants to achieve project objectives.
- Oversee preparation and quality review of environmental documents, technical reports, and client deliverables.
- Monitor project performance, proactively managing risks, schedules, budgets, and client expectations.
Client and Partner Engagement:
- Build and maintain strong relationships with public and private sector clients, agencies, and project stakeholders.
- Serve as a key client contact, facilitating meetings, presentations, public hearings, and stakeholder engagement activities.
- Collaborate across Dudek disciplines to deliver integrated solutions and exceptional client service.
Financial Performance and Contract Management:
- Manage project budgets, forecasts, and contract requirements to support profitable project delivery.
- Identify and coordinate scope changes and contract amendments as needed.
- Review project financial performance and support timely invoicing and reporting.
Team Leadership and Mentorship:
- Mentor and support the professional development of environmental planning staff.
- Provide technical guidance, project direction, and constructive feedback to team members.
- Foster a collaborative, high-performing team environment focused on quality and client success.
Technical and Regulatory Expertise:
- Provide technical leadership in environmental planning, impact assessment, and CEQA/NEPA compliance.
- Ensure deliverables meet regulatory requirements, client expectations, and Dudek quality standards.
- Stay current on environmental regulations, industry trends, and best practices.
Business Development and Industry Engagement:
- Support business development efforts through client relationships, proposal support, and identification of new opportunities.
- Represent Dudek through professional organizations, industry events, and community engagement.
- Collaborate with leadership and project teams to support strategic growth initiatives.
Now Requirements (Minimum Qualifications):
- Bachelor's degree in Environmental Planning, Environmental Science, Urban and Regional Planning, Geography, or a closely related field.
- 12 or more years of professional experience in environmental planning, environmental impact assessment, and CEQA and/or NEPA document preparation.
- Demonstrated experience managing environmental planning projects, including oversight of contracts, budgets, schedules, technical staff, and subconsultants.
- Strong knowledge of CEQA, NEPA, environmental permitting, and regulatory compliance processes.
- Excellent communication, organization, project management, technical writing, presentation, and interpersonal skills.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
- Valid driver's license and ability to travel as required for project and client needs.
Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications):
- Extensive experience managing projects with a focus on natural resources and environmental compliance.
- Experience working with public agencies, private-sector clients, and multidisciplinary project teams.
- Demonstrated success developing and maintaining client relationships and supporting business development efforts.
- Experience facilitating public outreach, stakeholder engagement, and presentations before public boards, commissions, and decision-making bodies.
- Proven ability to mentor staff and lead project teams in a collaborative environment.
- Active participation in professional organizations, industry associations, or conference presentations.
Skills: Could be overlapping with above; but we can list specific skills: communication, organization, project management, technical writing, presentation, interpersonal skills, proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, valid driver's license, ability to travel, technical leadership, stakeholder engagement, budget management, etc. However we must not invent. We can extract from the text: "Excellent communication, organization, project management, technical writing, presentation, and interpersonal skills." "Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint." "Valid driver's license and ability to travel as required." Also "Technical leadership" appears in duties. But we could include those as skills.
We'll create a Skills section with a list.
Pay: compensation range: $110,000-$160,000 annually. Also note final agreed-upon compensation based on factors, drug test, background check. We'll include that as prose.
We must not include boilerplate like "Successful candidates must pass a pre-employment drug test and background check prior to beginning employment." That's substantive? It's a requirement. Could be included in Requirements or Pay? It's a condition of employment. Might be considered part of Requirements. But we already have Requirements for qualifications. Could add a separate bullet under Requirements: "Must pass pre-employment drug test and background check." That's substantive.
Also "Working Conditions" and "Physical Requirements" are substantive. Should we include them as sections? The allowed headings list does not include Working Conditions or Physical Requirements. But we could incorporate them into Requirements or maybe as a separate section? The instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., implying those are examples but not exclusive? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. So we should not create other headings like Working Conditions. We must fold that content into existing sections, maybe under Requirements or About the role. But we must preserve all substantive information. So we need to embed working conditions and physical requirements into some existing section, perhaps as a list under Requirements or maybe under Responsibilities? But they are not duties. Could be under Requirements as additional requirements (like ability to work in certain conditions). We'll add them under Requirements as bullet points.
Thus Requirements will include minimum qualifications plus working conditions and physical requirements plus drug test.
We must not create a Benefits section.

We need to include location/hybrid, company overview, who you are, how you'll make impact.
Let's write a concise but comprehensive paragraph(s). Ensure we preserve all substantive info from those parts.
Company overview: Dudek’s journey began in 1980 with a vision to serve Southern California’s water and wastewater agencies.
