Shape Sustainable Development at the Intersection of Science, Strategy, and Impact
ERM is seeking a motivated and experienced Senior Consultant, Environmental Scientist (Wetland Delineator) to join our Capital Project Development team in Houston, Texas. This role is designed for a professional who has progressed beyond entry-level fieldwork and is ready to apply deep technical expertise to complex environmental challenges. You’ll work alongside multidisciplinary experts to deliver defensible science, support large-scale infrastructure and development projects, and help clients navigate permitting requirements while protecting critical wetland and water resources—advancing ERM’s mission as a global sustainability leader.
Why This Role Matters?
Wetlands and water resources are foundational to sustainable land development, ecosystem protection, and regulatory compliance. In this role, your technical judgment and field expertise directly influence project outcomes—ensuring environmental impacts are accurately assessed, permitting pathways are clear, and development decisions balance progress with environmental stewardship. Your work will help safeguard critical habitats while enabling responsible capital projects across the region.

Deliver high-quality wetland delineations and habitat assessments that support environmental permitting and impact evaluation.
Provide sound scientific analysis and defensible documentation that supports complex regulatory decisions.
Contribute to permitting strategies that allow projects to move forward responsibly and efficiently.

Familiarity with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Regional Supplements (Arid West and Great Plains).
Ability to conduct extended fieldwork (up to 75% travel) in variable weather conditions and challenging terrain.
Working knowledge of sub-meter GPS technologies, field data collection, and map interpretation (NWI, USGS, aerial imagery).
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience preparing detailed technical reports.
Demonstrated commitment to safety and adherence to health and safety protocols.
Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and adapt to evolving project needs.
Driver's License Required: This position requires a valid driver's license and/or the ability to operate a company vehicle due to the nature of job duties, which include frequent travel to various client locations across a large geographical area.
This position is not eligible for immigration sponsorship.
Preferred
Prior experience supporting permitting applications and environmental constraints analyses.
Experience interacting directly with clients or supporting client-facing deliverables.
Local or regional familiarity with projects in Texas and surrounding areas.
Local candidates preferred.
Key Responsibilities:
Conduct wetland delineations using the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and applicable Regional Supplements.
Document Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) indicators and geophysical characteristics of waterbodies.
Perform habitat assessments and environmental field surveys.
Collect, review, and manage field data using GPS and other data collection tools.
Compile wetland delineation reports and support permit application materials as requested.
Perform environmental constraints desktop analyses to support permitting efforts.
Collaborate closely with subject matter experts across technical disciplines.
Interact with clients and technical teams on environmental and biological topics.
Deliver work in alignment with ERM’s quality, budget, schedule, and management system standards.
Conduct all field and office activities in compliance with ERM and client health and safety requirements.
Take on additional responsibilities as needed to support team and project success.
