Description of Work

This position with NCDOT offers fullState Benefits (https://oshr.nc.gov/state-employee-resources/benefits) , competitive salaries and many career development opportunities.

This position is located in Guilford County in the Project Development Unit. This position will coordinate with private engineering consultants, NCDOT Project Managers, Division Management, technical subject matter experts, planning organizations, transit agencies, municipal and county staff, the Federal Highway Administration, and regulatory agencies to ensure our projects comply with NEPA/SEPA regulations, environmental laws, local, State, and Federal policies as well as NCDOT guidance relevant to the resources present within the context of each project as we perform planning, engineering and environmental studies for projects within Division 7. This includes the investigation and evaluation/review of studies related to streams and wetlands, endangered species, historic architecture, community impacts, multi-modal accommodations, voluntary agriculture districts (VAD), prime farmland, the Clean Water Act, and other studies necessary to comply with policy and to make informed decisions regarding project scope and alternatives.

This position will be responsible for guiding project managers and upper management in key decisions for the development and evaluation of all reasonable and feasible alternatives for transportation projects. The position will also provide expert guidance on major aspects of a project such as level of NEPA/SEPA documentation, purpose and need, scope of improvements, location of alternatives, and compatibility of the project with the surrounding community. The position will perform various technical evaluations such as review of wetland delineations and stream assessments, review and assessment of community impacts, review and recommendation of multi-modal accommodations, local coordination and project team guidance on potential VAD impacts, and identification and evaluation of other potential environmental impacts to develop avoidance, minimization, and mitigation options for projects.

The position will also work to generally identify and reduce risk associated with policy compliance and will review project specific environmental documents to ensure they contain sufficient information and analysis to support project decisions and are legally sufficient to withstand the scrutiny of court litigation.
