Make a Difference in Conservation

Westervelt Ecological Services (WES) is seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Conservation Planner to support the development of ecological restoration projects across Tennessee. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to meaningful conservation work—restoring streams, wetlands, and habitats—while growing your career in a collaborative, mission-driven environment.

A Day in the Life

You start your day reviewing aerial imagery and ecological data for a potential site. By mid-morning, you're in the field—walking a stream corridor, taking notes on vegetation, and snapping photos for documentation. After lunch, you join a virtual meeting with state agency staff to discuss permitting pathways. You spend the afternoon drafting a site summary and collaborating with a senior planner on a mitigation strategy. Before wrapping up, you prepare a few slides for an upcoming conference where you'll help represent WES. Every day brings a mix of fieldwork, planning, learning, and collaboration—all in service of restoring Tennessee's natural landscapes.

What You'll Do

As a Conservation Planner, you'll play a key role in identifying, evaluating, and supporting the development of mitigation projects such as :

• Turnkey Restoration Projects

You'll work closely with senior planners, scientists, and agency partners to bring restoration projects from concept to reality.

Key Responsibilities

What We're Looking For

Preferred qualifications also include experience working with Nashville District USACE and TDEC, conducting TN HD assessments and agency submittals, supporting business development and TN market analysis and ArcMap, ArcGIS or QCIS
