Technical Expertise, Client Relationships & Complex Project Leadership

We're looking for a dynamic, hands-on, Client/Project facing leader who thrives on building relationships, leading teams, and driving business growth to join and be a leader in our Environmental Investigation and Remediation Group. This is more than a technical role-it's an opportunity to be a connector, a strategist, and a visible leader who helps shape both our client partnerships and our technical expertise.

If you're energized by solving complex technical problems on multi-faceted Brownfield redevelopment projects, solving more classic contaminated site issues, mentoring technical staff, and turning opportunities into long-term success, this role offers the platform to make a real impact.
