  • Coordinate environmental reporting with project management and regulatory agencies.
  • Investigate environmental incidents, identify corrective actions, and ensure timely resolution.
  • Develop and deliver environmental compliance training for project personnel and subcontractors.
  • Support environmental planning during construction sequencing to minimize project impacts.
  • Interface with owners, environmental consultants, inspectors, and permitting authorities.

Required Qualifications

  • Minimum 5 years of environmental compliance experience supporting industrial or power construction projects.
  • Combined Cycle Power Plant construction experience is REQUIRED.
    • Candidates without Combined Cycle experience will not be considered.
    • Natural Gas Power Generation experience may be considered if directly applicable.
  • Demonstrated experience implementing environmental permits and compliance plans.
  • Strong understanding of:
    • EPA regulations
    • SWPPP
    • SPCC
    • Waste management
    • Stormwater compliance
    • Air quality requirements
    • Environmental reporting
  • Experience conducting environmental inspections and regulatory documentation.
  • Strong communication and organizational skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science, Environmental Engineering, Biology, Geology, or related field.
  • Professional environmental certifications are preferred.
  • Experience working for EPC contractors on utility-scale power generation projects.
  • Experience coordinating with environmental regulatory agencies.

Ideal Background

Successful candidates typically come from:

  • Environmental Compliance
  • Environmental Permitting
  • Environmental Engineering
  • Environmental Consulting
  • Power Generation Environmental Programs
  • Combined Cycle EPC Construction

Pay range $40 - $50 hr.
