Working with some of the brightest minds in environmental consulting, you’ll act as a senior technical consultant and strategist providing expertise and leadership in the form of project management, project technical consulting, regulatory subject matter expertise, or senior QA/QC review on climate change related projects. Through all your work, you’ll champion quality, health, and safety. Clients will see you as their go-to contact as you build meaningful relationships by solving their toughest obstacles for managing and reducing their carbon footprint or responding to physical and transitional risks from climate change, and you’ll define and lead client overall technical strategy. We’ll rely on you to present complex technical information and interpretations to clients and regulatory stakeholders in a readily understandable manner. You’ll apply your business development skills as you help to grow our business, working directly with our sales and client account management teams to help innovate and differentiate our service offerings. You’ll be the lead to understand technical client needs and provide sustainable solutions that are practical and consider the cost benefit of carbon management and GHG strategies and options.

  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering, environmental science, basic/applied science (such as physics, chemistry, material science, earth sciences, etc.), or a similar discipline.
  • Experience speaking with client senior executives in corporate, industrial, or local government sectors, at conferences, and to internal company learning networks about greenhouse gas inventories and mitigation strategies, and the physical risks to infrastructure, facilities, and supply chains caused by climate change.
  • Knowledge of corporate, municipal, and project based GHG inventories and the guidance documents to support their development.
  • Experience in carbon markets including developing carbon offset projects, writing new carbon offset methodologies, assisting clients in taking carbon emissions to market, and assisting other clients in acquisition of offsets for their own needs.
  • Ability to lead and manage a diverse team of remote practitioners.
  • Experience scoping, pricing, and writing winning proposals for climate change and other sustainability projects and then managing projects after the award to achieve successful delivery.
  • You must be a U.S. citizen.
Ideally, you'll also have
  • Master’s degree in engineering, environmental science, basic/applied science (such as physics, chemistry, material science, earth sciences, etc.), or a similar discipline.
  • Demonstrated strong business acumen.
  • Expert knowledge and past track record for delivery of climate risk and opportunity analysis per TCFD frameworks, and supporting our clients’ climate change disclosures via CDP and similar programs.
  • Strong knowledge of science-based target setting (via the SBTi program) for GHG reductions, including Scope 3 GHG emissions estimation and supply chain engagement strategies.
  • Background with environmental life cycle analyses, in particular carbon footprint of industrial products and infrastructure projects, and management of embodied carbon of concrete and steel and experience with environmental life cycle assessments of assets, infrastructure, and/or products.
  • Experience with delivery of projects involving the nexus of sustainable transportation, resilience, decarbonization, and social value.
Our health and welfare benefits are designed to invest in you, and in the things you care about. Your health. Your well-being. Your security. Your future.
