Senior Natural Resources & Permitting Specialist

Creativity. Innovation. A desire to effect positive change. That’s what it takes to work at Fuss & O’Neill – because that’s what we do for the communities in which we work: we create, innovate, and design long-lasting improvements that improve quality of life. Quality of life is also important on the job, so we’ve prioritized work-life balance by offering flexible/remote work opportunities, part-time benefits, and generous PTO. We believe that each day is an opportunity to support one another, to support our clients, and to support our communities. If you feel the same, then you’ve found your future.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Natural Resources & Permitting Specialist to lead and manage environmental permitting efforts with a strong focus on Connecticut regulatory programs and approvals. This role is ideal for a senior-level environmental professional who brings deep permitting expertise, agency coordination experience, and strong project management skills across infrastructure, restoration, and redevelopment projects.

The selected candidate will serve as a key permitting lead supporting multidisciplinary teams and clients through complex federal, state, and municipal environmental review processes. While the primary regulatory focus is Connecticut, candidates may be based in Connecticut, Rhode Island, or Massachusetts, with hybrid flexibility and limited travel.

This is a high-impact role supporting critical infrastructure, ecological restoration, and redevelopment projects while helping expand internal permitting capacity and mentoring junior staff.
