The Senior Environmental Engineering Manager is an internally focused leadership role responsible for providing strategic and technical oversight for the Engineering Group within the Technical Services Department. This position develops permanent solutions to complex environmental engineering challenges and supports a multidisciplinary team delivering work across the organization’s environmental projects.


The Senior Environmental Engineering Manager does not serve as a primary client-facing role but, instead, leads engineers in the internal development and review of remediation and pollution control strategies, supports permitting and redevelopment effort, and provides final technical and QA/QC review of Engineering Group deliverables.

  • Lead and oversee the Engineering Group, including personnel management, financial performance, and resource allocation.
  • Direct Engineering Group activities by assigning tasks, leading design teams, supervising performance, and providing final QA/QC review.
  • Identify, coach, and mentor Engineering staff to successfully complete projects and advance professionally.
  • Design and develop remediation strategies tailored to site specific conditions and contaminant types.
  • Interpret existing regulations and guidance and coordinate with consultants to develop strategies related to engineered systems.
  • Prepare and submit permit applications to regulatory agencies, including required documentation, data, and technical reports.
  • Prepare proposals for August Mack service areas and external clients.
  • Collaborate with other groups and departments to accomplish project and organizational objectives.

  • Ability to oversee multiple projects simultaneously
  • Demonstrate leadership skills with the ability to lead and mentor staff, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and oversee project teams
  • Manage, develop, and motivate staff

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

  • All positions require the completion of a successful background check, motor vehicle review, and pre-employment drug screen.
