Coastline Consulting & Development, LLC also specializes in General Contracting, implementation, and management of large scale dredging projects throughout New England. Our clients include the US Army Corps of Engineers, the US Navy, the US Coast Guard, municipalities, marinas, and yacht clubs.

Qualifications:
The Coastline team, consisting of several previous martimers, is looking to add a new entry level member to our team.

Job Responsibilities:
The new role available at Coastline includes the development of AutoCad drafting drawings for regulatory permit applications for docks, seawalls, and dredging projects.

An understanding of coastal policies and regulations will be important in the development of plans to minimize environmental impacts. After a first draft, it is typical that a peer review will be conducted, and handwritten comments/edits will be provided for the preparation of a final draft.
