Our platform combines regulatory information with more than 2,500 geospatial datasets to help energy companies and environmental consultants understand the permits, constraints, and risks facing a project in hours instead of weeks.\nWe are a small, fast-moving team tackling a huge market at the moment AI is beginning to reshape professional services. Someone joining now will help define both Blumen and the future of environmental work in infrastructure development.\nThe role\nWe are looking for an environmental practitioner who wants to help build the AI-native version of environmental planning.\nYou will use Blumen to evaluate real energy and infrastructure projects, research unresolved environmental and permitting questions, and ensure that our work is accurate enough for customers to act on. You will also help turn repeated professional judgment into better product logic, evaluations, and workflows.\nThis is a hands-on production role. You will review maps, regulations, agency sources, planning documents, and AI-generated findings; correct errors; fill gaps; structure information; and complete project deliverables under real deadlines. The work can be repetitive and exacting. We need someone who is happy to do the detailed work every day, not someone who only wants to advise on how it should be done.\nAs you develop command of the work, you will identify patterns the product should capture and work directly with product and engineering to improve the system.\nThis should appeal to an ambitious environmental professional who wants to move beyond the traditional consulting path, help disrupt how infrastructure services are delivered, and build the tools their field will use next.\nWhat you will do\nEvaluate sites for environmental, land-use, and permitting risks.\n\nProduce and review critical issues analyses, permit assessments, and environmental screens.\n\nResearch uncertain findings using authoritative regulatory, agency, planning, and project sources.\n\nReview AI-generated analysis closely and correct unsupported, incomplete, or misleading conclusions.\n\nConvert recurring project work into clearer methods, evaluation cases, and product requirements.\n\nWho should apply\nYou have experience in environmental planning, permitting, natural resources, land use, environmental consulting, government, or infrastructure development. You can distinguish a material project risk from a generic database hit and explain what a developer should investigate next.\nYou are extremely hardworking, humble, and detail oriented. You care about citations and factual accuracy, take pride in completing repetitive work well, and remain dependable when project volume is high. You want to work closely with software and AI, but you understand that better tools begin with a deep command of the underlying practice.\nExperience with energy projects, critical issues analyses, permit matrices, NEPA or CEQA, GIS, or multidisciplinary site diligence is valuable.\nGrowth\nThis role will not stay narrow for someone who does the foundational work exceptionally well. Earn the team's trust through excellent project work, judgment, and reliability, and you can quickly take on considerable responsibility across environmental workflows, AI evaluation, quality systems, customers, and product development. We are looking for someone who wants to grow with the company, take pride in owning this function, and help define a position that has never existed before.\nOur values\nPut yourself in the customer’s shoes. We care deeply about serving our customers above all else.\n\nNo job is too small. Details matter, even if nobody will ever see them.\n\nEvery problem is an opportunity. Any solution that is clever, difficult to reproduce, or takes serious guts is an opportunity to widen our moat.\n\nTo go far, go together. We trust, respect, win, and lose together, as a team.\n\nOwn the problem. Not your solution. Best idea wins.\n\nIt doesn’t get easier. We just get faster. There is no finish line. Every day is a step toward compounding success. This is a marathon toward excellence.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4170,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Environmental Science","Custom Software Development"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-05T20:15:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":20,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.364,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":53,"expected_fill_days":41,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-28T05:59:10Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":180000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/blumen-systems-environmental-planning-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/blumen-systems-environmental-planning-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T12:56:12Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":17316,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":456119},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=456119"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fblumen-systems-environmental-planning-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fblumen-systems-environmental-planning-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fblumen-systems-environmental-planning-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/blumen-systems-environmental-planning-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fblumen-systems-environmental-planning-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":367586}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"blumensystems.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":367586},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
