WSP is seeking a Senior Environmental/Licensing Specialist to support our nuclear environmental services business team. Reporting to our leadership in St. Louis, MO (Creve Coeur) or remote within the region, this role entails delivery of high-quality nuclear environmental licensing services in conjunction with NRC regulation (10 CFR Parts 50, 51, 52, 53, 57, and 73) and related guidance (Regulatory Guide 4.2, NUREG 1555, NUREG 1748 for new facility permitting). This position requires a strong foundation in NEPA/impact assessment and related environmental laws and regulations (e.g., Endangered Species Act, Clean Water Act, National Historic Preservation Act, Executive Orders, and others) relevant to a new facility permitting and licensing.
The selected candidate will serve as a technical leader responsible for planning and executing Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Environmental Reports (ER) and NEPA analyses, including defining technical approaches, identifying and directing required environmental and field studies, and integrating multidisciplinary inputs into defensible deliverables. This includes applying NRC environmental regulations and guidance to project execution, maintaining awareness of evolving regulatory developments and licensing pathways, and ensuring consistency and technical rigor across all environmental analyses.
You will build and expand client relationships, lead outreach and account positioning strategies, and serve as a key technical lead, manager and pursuit lead for new nuclear and other NEPA related projects. You will also direct and deliver complex NEPA environmental assessments, EISs, and related supporting environmental studies in coordination with interdisciplinary teams, managing scope, schedule, budget, and quality from pursuit through execution.
The ideal candidate has a strong record of prior experience with NRC license applications/ ER and nuclear licensing reviews. You will provide technical and administrative leadership on complex studies, mentor teams, and ensure regulatory compliance and on-time/on-budget delivery. Master’s degree or higher degree required.
