• Ensure safety, quality, and ecological standards are consistently met by field crews
• Coordinate with internal nursery/logistics teams for plant materials, equipment, and supplies
• Produce clear documentation, progress updates, and project close-out materials

Qualifications
• Bachelor’s degree in ecology, environmental science, landscape architecture, agriculture, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
• 3+ years of experience managing environmental, construction, or land-based restoration projects
• Strong understanding of native plant communities, ecological processes, and/or environmental permitting
• Excellent organizational, communication, and client-facing skills
• Ability to travel regionally and provide on-site leadership as required
• Proven ability to lead teams in high-accountability, field-based environments

Compensation & Benefits
• Opportunity to lead meaningful ecological restoration work across diverse landscapes
• Competitive salary with performance-based growth potential (often exceeding $100K with experience)
• Clear advancement path into senior leadership roles
• Collaborative, mission-driven team culture
• Exposure to innovative ecological and agricultural restoration practices
