Okay, let’s tackle this. So Matt has a mix of skills that are in demand, but not extremely rare. Environmental consulting and project management are common skills, but he also has a strong educational background from Xavier University of Louisiana, which adds some value. Location is Conroe, Texas, which is not a major hub for environmental consulting. Considering these factors, I’m estimating an hourly rate of $75, which is on the lower end of the spectrum for environmental consultants in the US. This rate is comparable to entry-level or junior environmental consultants in smaller cities.
