Job Description: Job Overview: The Environmental Design Compliance Manager is a mid-level environmental professional who supports the Environmental Compliance Director in the delivery of the Project’s environmental program, with a primary focus on design. The position ensures that design packages comply with all environmental requirements – Environmental Approvals, Environmental Commitments, permit conditions and the Technical Requirements – and works with the design team to avoid, minimize and optimize environmental impacts and environmental units such as noise barriers and impacts to Waters of the U.S. (wetlands and streams). The role acts as the link between the environmental team and the design disciplines, bridging the ECL’s overall compliance leadership and the field-level erosion and sediment control responsibilities of the TDEC Level 2 Specialist. Once the design and the main environmental permits have been obtained and the Project moves into the construction phase, the position becomes part of the construction-phase Environmental Team, supporting the ECL in field compliance and keeping design changes and permits aligned during construction. Responsibilities and Duties: Support to the Environmental Compliance Lead •     Supports the Environmental Compliance Director in directing the Project’s environmental program, including the preparation, implementation and updating of the Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) and the tracking of Environmental Commitments. •     Prepares and reviews submittals to TDOT that support re-evaluations, amendments and supplements to the TDOT-provided Environmental Approvals, including Re-evaluation Support Packages and technical report addenda inputs. •     Prepares environmental permit applications and modifications (USACE Section 404, TDEC ARAP/401, NPDES Construction Stormwater NOI and other Developer-led approvals) and tracks review periods and permit conditions. •     Provides environmental inputs and durations to the Project Baseline Schedule and supports the Environmental Compliance Director in identifying permitting and approval risks that may affect design submittals or construction. •     Supports the Environmental Compliance Director in coordination meetings with TDOT, FHWA and Governmental Entities and in the resolution of environmental Nonconforming Work, Noncompliance Events and corrective actions. Design Environmental Compliance (Design Phase) •     Reviews Base Design, Definitive Design and RFC submittals for each discipline to verify compliance with Environmental Approvals, Environmental Commitments, permit conditions, the NEPA Base Configuration and applicable Environmental Laws and Project Standards. •     Monitors and documents changes in environmental resource impacts resulting from design development, ATCs, construction means and methods or ROW changes, and keeps TR Attachment 7-4 (Environmental Resources and Impacts) up to date. •     Identifies design changes that may trigger new or modified Environmental Approvals, re-evaluation or additional consultation (e.g., Section 106, Section 7, Section 4(f)) and communicates them to the Environmental Compliance Director and the design team in a timely manner. •     Maintains the environmental design review log, comment resolution records and the traceability of environmental requirements in design packages. Environmental Impact Optimization •     Works with the design team to avoid and minimize impacts to WOTUS, wetlands, streams, stream buffers, karst features, protected species habitat, cultural resources and other sensitive areas, and quantifies impacts and mitigation needs. •     Suppo
