ROLE OVERVIEW

The Associate Program Consultant (APC) is the operational backbone of the S&D team, responsible for the behind-the-scenes execution that keeps water quality programs running accurately and on time. APCs work across multiple Program Consultant portfolios simultaneously, managing tasks that span different program types and due dates. Success in this role requires strong organizational skills, keen attention to detail, and the ability to communicate progress clearly and proactively. While most APC work is internal, APCs are expected to maintain a client-facing presence, joining meetings to provide logistics and sample progress updates, and supporting the preparation of client-facing communications. APCs report data to Program Consultants, who use that information to consult with and report back to clients.
