About The Position

Idaho Power — located in vibrant Boise, Idaho — is looking for a Senior Environmental Compliance Engineer to join our Environmental Compliance team. It’s an exciting time to work for Idaho Power. Our work plays a critical role in communities we serve across Idaho and Oregon, and we’re working hard to provide our customers with safe, reliable, affordable energy they depend on.

The successful candidate would be expected to have a similar field presence. What does a Senior Environmental Compliance Engineer do for us?

This role utilizes knowledge and expertise in the review, development and implementation of Idaho Power's environmental compliance program, while also supporting interaction between Idaho Power and regulatory agencies. This role plans and leads complex assignments and projects and interfaces with internal departments and external organizations as needed.
