Environmental Principal
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; fold minor metadata into short
or drop. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's parse content: Intro: "Are you driven to grow, lead, and make a meaningful impact? At Apex, we’re building more than a consulting and engineering firm—we’re creating a place where your career accelerates, your contributions matter, and your potential is fully realized. We believe your growth is our growth, which is why we invest in your development at every stage of your career.

Apex Companies is a national leader in water resources, environmental services, engineering, health & safety, and ESG consulting. With a strong presence across the United States, we deliver innovative, practical, and sustainable solutions to clients across a diverse range of industries." Then: "We are seeking a dynamic, growth-oriented leader to join our team as an Environmental Principal. This hybrid position may be based in Thousand Oaks, Pleasant Hill, or Signal Hill, California." Then "The Role" heading (but we shouldn't repeat job title). The content under The Role: "As an Environmental Principal, you will serve as a senior technical advisor and trusted thought leader, helping clients navigate complex environmental challenges and develop strategic, high-value solutions. This role combines deep technical expertise with business leadership and is focused on advancing Apex's environmental practice through technical excellence, client development, and team growth. You will play a key role in mentoring staff, expanding client relationships, and driving the continued success and growth of the environmental services team." Then "Key Responsibilities" list: bullet points (but they are separated by periods? Actually they are sentences separated by periods but no bullet formatting. We'll treat as list items. List: - Maintain and expand long-term client relationships, acting as a trusted advisor. - Provide subject matter expertise (SME), lead QA/QC efforts, and mentor project teams to promote technical excellence and high performance. - Manage project performance with a focus on quality, innovation, and client satisfaction. - Travel to client locations as needed for meetings and project development. Then "What We Are Looking For": list items (numbered but we treat as list). Items: - 10+ years of environmental consulting or industry experience with progressive responsibility and leadership. - BS in Geology or Engineering, Hydrogeology, Environmental Science, or other related field. Master's degree is preferred. - Licensure as Professional Geologist or Engineer. - Established client relationships and an active network within the region or with national clients. - Strong technical background in one or more of the core disciplines: Environmental Compliance, Site Investigation/Remediation, Site Development Permitting, EHS, or Due Diligence. - Exceptional communication, negotiation, and presentation skills for engaging with senior-level clients, regulators, and stakeholders. - Deep understanding of your region’s regulatory and business environment. - Ability to mentor and train staff. - Strong technical writing and communication skills. - Strong safety awareness and a good record and understanding of safe work practices. - 40-hour HAZWOPER certification. Then "Why You'll Love Working For Us": list items: - Company-subsidized medical and dental. - Company-paid life, short, and long-term disability. - 401k match, tuition assistance, and more. - Cross-training and the ability to work on a variety of projects. - Performance-based bonuses or other incentives. - Working with the best and brightest in the industry. - 2,000+ employee national firm with 70+ locations across the US. Then "Apex Job Title: Scientist 6 - Principal Scientist Req ID: 12120 Annual Expected Pay Range: $130,000 USD - $170,000 USD". This includes pay range. We need Pay section if posting actually states them. Yes, pay range given. So we need a Pay section with that info. Also schedule? Not mentioned. So no Schedule section. Benefits: we have benefits listed under "Why You'll Love Working For Us". That includes medical, dental, disability, 401k, tuition assistance, cross-training, performance bonuses, etc. So Benefits section. Qualifications: maybe combine "What We Are Looking For" as Qualifications? The spec includes Qualifications heading. We'll put qualifications there. Skills: maybe separate skills like communication, technical writing, safety awareness, HAZWOPER. But we can include under Skills or Qualifications. Since we have both Qualifications and Skills headings allowed, we need to decide what to put where. The posting includes both qualifications (experience, education, licensure) and skills (communication, negotiation, presentation, technical writing, safety awareness, HAZWOPER). We'll split: Qualifications: education, licensure, experience, client relationships, technical background. Skills: communication, negotiation, presentation, technical writing, safety awareness, HAZWOPER, ability to mentor/train staff (could be skill). We'll also include "Ability to mentor and train staff" maybe under Skills. Responsibilities: we have Key Responsibilities. About the role: we have The Role description. We also have intro about company; could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section like "About Apex". But only allowed headings are those listed. We could put company overview under About the role? The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have About the role section containing both company overview and role description. That's fine. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we won't have heading "Environmental Principal". We'll just have About the role. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. The Job Title line includes "Apex Job Title: Scientist 6 - Principal Scientist Req ID: 12120 Annual Expected Pay Range: $130,000 USD - $170,000 USD". We'll extract pay range for Pay section, and maybe drop the rest (Job Title and Req ID) as minor metadata in a short
maybe under About the role? But we should not repeat job title as heading; we can include a short paragraph with that info. However the instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a
with that info somewhere, maybe after About the role. But we need to preserve all substantive information; the job title and req ID are minor metadata? They might be considered minor. We'll include them in a short
after About the role perhaps. We must remove boilerplate: EEO statement, accessibility statement, agency recruiter warning, etc. So we will cut those. Now construct HTML. We'll have sections:
About the role
... company overview + role description + maybe job title/req ID?
Responsibilities
- ... each responsibility
Qualifications
- ... qualifications items
Skills
- ... skills items
Benefits
- ... benefits items
Pay
$130,000 USD - $170,000 USD annual expected pay range
We should not include Schedule. Check that we haven't included filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now ensure we preserve all substantive information from posting. Let's extract each piece. Company overview paragraph(s): - "Are you driven to grow, lead, and make a meaningful impact? At Apex, we’re building more than a consulting and engineering firm—we’re creating a place where your career accelerates, your contributions matter, and your potential is fully realized. We believe your growth is our growth, which is why we invest in your development at every stage of your career. Here, you’ll work on projects that shape communities, protect the environment, and create lasting impact, all while being empowered with the autonomy and flexibility to do your best work. Fueled by high-quality delivery, exceptional client retention, and strategic acquisitions, Apex Companies continues to rank among the fastest-growing firms in the AEC industry, recently recognized by the Zweig Group for our industry-leading growth. Our success is grounded in strong leadership, a collaborative culture, and a shared commitment to delivering exceptional outcomes. As we continue to expand, we're looking for high-performing professionals who are ready to lead, collaborate, innovate, and create impact. At Apex, you help shape what's next. When we succeed together, we share in that success. All Apex positions are eligible for annual bonus opportunities, reinforcing our commitment to recognizing and rewarding meaningful contributions that drive our collective growth. Apex Companies is a national leader in water resources, environmental services, engineering, health & safety, and ESG consulting. With a strong presence across the United States, we deliver innovative, practical, and sustainable solutions to clients across a diverse range of industries." We can keep that as a paragraph. Then "We are seeking a dynamic, growth-oriented leader to join our team as an Environmental Principal. This hybrid position may be based in Thousand Oaks, Pleasant Hill, or Signal Hill, California." Then The Role description: "As an Environmental Principal, you will serve as a senior technical advisor and trusted thought leader, helping clients navigate complex environmental challenges and develop strategic, high-value solutions. This role combines deep technical expertise with business leadership and is focused on advancing Apex's environmental practice through technical excellence, client development, and team growth. You will play a key role in mentoring staff, expanding client relationships, and driving the continued success and growth of the environmental services team." We can combine these into About the role paragraph(s). Maybe two paragraphs: first company overview, second role location and description. Now Responsibilities list: we have four items. Qualifications list: items from "What We Are Looking For" that are qualifications: experience, education, licensure, client relationships, technical background. Let's list: - 10+ years of environmental consulting or industry experience with progressive responsibility and leadership. - BS in Geology or Engineering, Hydrogeology, Environmental Science, or other related field. Master's degree is preferred. - Licensure as Professional Geologist or Engineer. - Established client relationships and an active network within the region or with national clients. - Strong technical background in one or more of the core disciplines: Environmental Compliance, Site Investigation/Remediation, Site Development Permitting, EHS, or Due Diligence. Skills list: remaining items: - Exceptional communication, negotiation, and presentation skills for engaging with senior-level clients
