RES ecological solutions enable a balance of economic development and ecological sustainability.
The mission: The Mitigation Banking Hub is a RES team dedicated to the discipline of mitigation banking, working in partnership with our regional teams across the nation to strategically grow and successfully operate our mitigation bank portfolio. I was fortunate to join this group during its inception and have enjoyed helping set its organizational structure and strategy for success. These new positions will be primarily focused on the front end of the bank development process including site selection and the initial stages of the bank approval process and will be solely focused on mitigation banking. They will support our regions where they need additional capacity to advance mitigation banks in existing markets and to expand into new markets. The goal is to continue to grow the RES mitigation banking business line.

You will be applying your knowledge of local and federal permitting processes and leveraging the knowledge of the local region to ensure RES is pursuing the best available sites for mitigation bank development. Your primary contribution is expected to include driving site selection processes and drafting early-stage bank approval documents from a regulatory perspective.

30% of your time you will be mentoring/coaching – You will be helping to grow the level of mitigation banking experience at RES by coaching and mentoring.
