Environmental Planner II
Planning Practice
We create, integrate, visualize and communicate planning concepts as they move from the initial vision through implementation. Our planning professionals build strong client partnerships, working with residents, businesses, developers, educational and medical organizations, state and local governments, the military and other federal agencies to successfully plan the future of their communities or institutions. At Michael Baker International, we focus on people and places, improving communities and creating more sustainable, convenient, equitable, healthful, efficient, and attractive places.
Our San Diego office fosters a supportive, team-oriented culture where knowledge sharing, mentorship, and continuous development are encouraged. We’re seeking someone who brings strong analytical and communication skills, enjoys working both independently and as part of a team, and is motivated to make a lasting impact through thoughtful environmental planning.
