Who We Are:

KC Harvey Environmental (an Aventia company) is a rapidly expanding environmental consulting and field services firm based in Bozeman, Montana.

This position brings together service-line leadership, principal-level technical expertise, and business development. You’ll work with marquee mining clients, expand high-value water and environmental services, and act as a trusted advisor on complex permitting, compliance, and resource challenges throughout North America.
