Caltrans Environmental Scientists perform a broad range of work concerning environmental issues related to protecting California’s resources as related to transportation projects. Incumbents do field analyses; prepare environmental documents, technical studies, permitting packages, and regulatory permits; ensure compliance with various environmental laws and regulations; and conduct environmental protection, planning, and mitigation activities. Incumbents apply scientific methods and principles to analyze and evaluate available data on the effects of transportation projects on all aspects of the environment; prepare and review CEQA/NEPA and other technical documents to determine the effects; and implement mitigation strategies to less the impact of those projects.

Under the general direction of the Environmental Branch Chief, the Senior Environmental Scientist (Specialist) is a participating interdisciplinary team member who is responsible for archaeological and/or architectural and historical studies and project effects analysis for transportation projects and local assistance projects pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and other applicable state and federal regulations.
The incumbent identifies and evaluates archaeological, architectural, and/or other historic built environment resources as part of the transportation project development process; prepares written analyses of such resources or reports on these resources as an aide in the development of model and design alternatives for transportation projects; identifies and analyzes impacts of transportation projects on archaeological and built environment resources; develops and recommends mitigation measures to avoid or minimize impacts on these resources.

The Senior Environmental Scientist (Specialist) is the advanced journey level of the series. Decision making at this level has a higher consequence of error than that of an Environmental Scientist. Incumbents may be assigned lead responsibility for a specific project, program function, or area of expertise; may act as a mentor to lower-level staff; and may act as consultants to other technical staff, management, and other agencies in those matters.
