Serve as a subject matter expert and primary point of contact for shoreline-related inquiries from property owners, applicants, and the public.
Provide technical guidance to customers throughout the permitting process.
Represent the company in meetings with federal, state, and local regulatory agencies, non-governmental organizations, and community stakeholders.
Participate in public outreach, educational sessions, and stakeholder meetings to promote awareness and understanding of shoreline management policies.

Other Must Haves:

Strong written and verbal communication skills.
