Environmental and Planning Officer
2 months ago
The Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority provides a world-class customer experience for millions of passengers traveling to and through Raleigh-Durham International airport (RDU). Our organization honors leadership, integrity, teamwork, excellence, and respect. We’re known for innovation, and we need skilled professionals to match our team. Here at RDU, we’ve created a culture that attracts bright, passionate, and caring people who sincerely want to do their best for our internal and external partners. Our organization offers a dynamic, fast-paced environment that promotes teamwork, creativity, and collaboration. As a team member at RDU, you can expect to make a difference through your work, directly impact the achievement of a meaningful mission, advance your career trajectory, and still have room for fun and fulfillment in your daily life.
GENERAL SUMMARY
The Environmental and Planning Officer position plays a key role in supporting the advancement of the Authority’s environmental, airport planning, noise, and sustainability initiatives. The Officer must possess strong technical, analytical and communication skills. While most of the work tasks will be environmental in nature (inspections of stormwater outfalls & tenant spaces, SDS & drawing reviews, sampling, emissions calculations, etc.) to ensure compliance with various operating permits and environmental regulations, this role will also support planning (completing analysis on future development in the region that may impact or be impacted by the airport), noise (responding to noise calls), and sustainability (tracking and reporting sustainability performance) tasks. Although starting out as a generalist, the position can evolve into an Officer specializing in one or more of the four previously mentioned areas in the future. This role will support multiple business units across the Authority as well as collaborate with our tenants, local government agencies, and outside stakeholders. This role will report directly to the VP of Planning and Sustainability.
