Anchorage, AK Full Time
POSTED ON 11/27/2025

We deliver environmental and sustainability services to our clients through the integration of over 30 advisory, technical environmental, and engineering disciplines to help clients address some of their most complex challenges around sustainability. We are Making Sustainability Happen.

SLR is seeking a principal scientist to serve in an hourly as needed (HAN) support role. This position is assigned to the Anchorage, Alaska office and will report to Joe Rubino, US Manager of Environmental Assessment. At least 20 years of environmental experience working in planning, assessments and permitting is required.

The principal scientist will work on projects focused on National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance, environmental permitting, and regulatory compliance.

Specific Activities May Include The Following

  • Developing documents to support the NEPA process for exploration and development projects and providing permitting support for exploration, development, and seismic projects.
  • Providing strategic advice to clients regarding environmental permitting.
  • Participating in stakeholder engagement (agencies, interest groups, and community members) to obtain necessary permits in a timely manner while minimizing operational limitations.

This HAN support position has been created to primarily support billable client work. However, there may be a need for the principal scientist to support project pursuits and work on non-billable items such as attendance at client meetings, proposal preparation and company or technical trainings. To be compensated for overhead services, pre-approval from the line manager must be obtained prior to working on any non-billable tasks.
