About the role

Environmental Engineer role on the Solution Engineering & Development team at Paces, focused on environmental due diligence, regulatory compliance, and integrating environmental knowledge into AI-driven workflows for renewable infrastructure and power projects.

Responsibilities

  • Be an environmental source of truth. As a licensed Environmental PE, you will be the internal authority on environmental risk and regulatory compliance — setting the bar for how we assess sites and build our environmental modules.
  • Translate your expertise into product. Partner daily with Product Managers and Software Engineers to codify your environmental knowledge into automated workflows, data models, and report templates — turning what used to take days of expert review into repeatable, scalable modules.
  • Build and validate our environmental playbooks. Define the standards our automations are built against, QA outputs for accuracy, and continuously sharpen our environmental logic as regulations evolve and our platform grows.
  • Work with AI. Partner with our AI engineers to hardwire your environmental know-how into automated workflows—codifying repeatable analyses so the whole team moves faster and smarter.

Qualifications

  • Active PE license with an environmental specialization is required.
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in environmental permitting, land-use entitlements, or regulatory due diligence (e.g., Environmental & Permitting Specialist, Project Developer, Environmental Consultant, or related role).
  • Deep working knowledge of state, federal, and local permitting processes (NEPA, CEQA, ESA, Section 404/401, zoning and land-use boards).
  • Demonstrated ability to communicate complex environmental and regulatory concepts clearly to non-technical audiences, including engineers, product managers, and executives.
  • Comfort working in a product and technology environment. You don't need to write code, but you need to think systematically and be able to articulate your expertise in ways that can be built into software.
  • Familiarity with GIS and environmental datasets.
