Fluor is seeking candidates for opportunities within our Program Delivery Support (PDS) team, working alongside the California High-Speed Rail Authority, to provide program delivery and program management services for one of the largest planned infrastructure projects in the U.S.

The system will connect the 500-mile stretch between the Los Angeles region with the San Francisco Bay Area, with up to 24 stations. The first phase of the program is currently under construction in California’s Central Valley.

The Special Projects Manager supports the administration and the implementation of the Authority's NEPA Assignment Program responsibilities, as assigned by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) in the NEPA Assignment Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), pursuant to 23 USC 327. The NEPA Assignment Coordinator will provide guidance and oversee NEPA (and other related federal regulations and guidance) environmental reviews for projects in their respective regions and have charge of monitoring and directing compliance with federal environmental commitments and permit conditions during construction.

The individual will serve as a critical point of contact for federal cooperating agencies during project development. The candidate will also have an open line of communication to the NEPA Coordinator Lead, Deputy Director of Environmental Services and Director of Environmental Services. The individual will make recommendations regarding the adequacy and compliance of environmental documentation prepared under NEPA or any other federal environmental law for which the Authority is responsible to the NEPA Assignment Manager.

Major emphasis is placed on ensuring consistent and uniform application of statewide environmental management policies, standards, procedures, guidelines and practices in compliance with provisions of the MOU and other laws, regulations and commitments.
