Description

Confluence is seeking a Reclamation & Natural Resources Specialist to join our Front Range team, supporting reclamation and compliance projects across Colorado and the Rocky Mountains. This is a field- and office-based role that involves regular travel to project sites for field data collection and consultation, as well as technical analysis and reporting from our Mead, Colorado, office (with hybrid flexibility when not in the field).

In this role, you will conduct site evaluations, assess vegetation and reclamation progress, consult with client and regulator representatives, and collect the documentation necessary to support regulatory compliance and site closure. You will also draft reclamation plans and related documents, coordinate with internal/external project managers and operators, and prepare technical reports, figures, and submittals for clients and agencies.

This position offers the opportunity to combine field ecology with regulatory strategy, advancing real-world reclamation projects across Colorado and the larger Rocky Mountain Region.

Responsibilities

Analyze data, prepare reports of findings, and make recommendations for successful reclamation planning and site maintenance.
Conduct field assessments of vegetation, soils, hydrologic conditions, and reclamation progress to evaluate site conditions and trajectory.
Perform site-level environmental impact assessments and prepare supporting documentation.
Compile findings and recommended next steps into clear reports, figures, and compliance records for client and regulatory review.
Support project delivery through data management, tracking, and reporting.
Communicate clearly and effectively with project managers, clients, contractors, and regulatory agencies.
Comply with project management records keeping and communication policies to support team objectives.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science, Ecology, Biology, Horticulture, Natural Resources, Soil Science, or related field.
3–5 years of experience in reclamation, restoration, regulatory compliance, or environmental consulting.
Demonstrated technical writing and reporting skills, with experience drafting regulatory compliance documents.
Demonstrated competency with vegetation monitoring methods, soil sampling, and hydrologic assessments.
Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple projects independently and collaboratively.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat software.
Valid driver’s license, safe driving record, and reliable, insured vehicle (company vehicles provided when available; personal use reimbursed at General Services Administration [GSA] mileage rates).
Ability to work outdoors in variable weather and terrain, lift up to 50 pounds, and travel regularly to field sites.
Have a home office with a reliable internet connection, conducive to remote work.
Maintain auditable personal notes on work completed to backup billed project work and approved indirect time.
Comply with all Confluence and client policies and procedures.
This is a safety-sensitive position which will require a background check and drug testing (pre-employment, random, and post-incident).

Preferred Qualifications
