Okay, let’s break it down. Gus has a broad skill set, including environmental awareness, strategic planning, and project management. He’s a President at a company focused on environmental services. Location is Long Beach, California, which has a relatively high cost of living. Industry demand for environmental professionals is moderate to high. Considering his experience, skills, and location, I estimate his hourly rate to be around $125, which is slightly below the national average for environmental consultants and project managers in California.
