ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT DIRECTOR Littleton, CO | Office and Field | $95,000 to $140,000 annually

You will generate the estimate, win the client, and own the project from the first site walk to the last dollar collected. This is a seat for someone who builds business the right way, through real relationships and work that speaks for itself, not through pressure tactics.

If you would rather earn trust than push a pitch, keep reading.

What You Will Own

• Bring in the work. Generate and manage technical estimates on company leads and your own referral network, meeting or exceeding the sales and profitability goals Spyder sets.
• Win through credibility. Walk potential projects, scope the repair accurately, and turn one solid inspection into a client who calls you directly next time.
• Be the relationship. Own the client relationship from kickoff through closeout. Keep your weekly commitments. Every interaction should be a reason they choose Spyder again.
• Run the deal end to end. Prepare sharp, accurate proposals. Negotiate change orders with owners, architects, and clients. Keep budgets and financial projections honest.
• Lead the room. Host project kickoffs, internal pre-construction meetings, and OAC meetings. Get the production team aligned on scope, budget, and schedule before work starts.
• Step up when it gets hard. Be the escalation point project managers count on, resolve scope disputes and client issues, and help PMs grow.
• The details come with the seat. You will submit RFIs and monthly pay applications, partner with accounting on down payments and receivables, build complete job folders, and attend project walks through demo, rough, punch, and final.

What You Bring

The way you are wired:

• You build trust through follow-through, not flash. People do business with you because you are accurate and dependable, not because you talked them into it.
• You genuinely enjoy the hunt. New relationships and new business energize you, and you are comfortable initiating them yourself.
• You work independently. You do not need to be managed to deliver, and you take ownership of the outcome either way.
• You care about getting it right. Precision in your estimates and your word is what keeps clients coming back.
• This role is not a fit if you need a lot of oversight, prefer working from a script, or would rather manage a pipeline than build one yourself. If that is you, this probably is not your seat, and that is fine. It saves everyone time to know now.

Required:

• 7+ years estimating and managing abatement projects in Colorado
• Valid Colorado driver's license and a record that meets Spyder requirements

Preferred:

• Water and fire damage mitigation experience
• Equipment Operator Certifications
• 4-year degree, preferably in Construction, Project Management, or a related field

The Work Itself

• This role lives in both the office and the field. You will not be stuck at a desk.
• Must be able to lift 50+ lbs, climb ladders, and work in varying weather while using full PPE as required per project.
• Reports to the Environmental Department Manager. No direct reports. You lead through influence and results.

Why Spyder

You will have real autonomy here. We do not micromanage people who deliver. You will work company-generated leads plus your own network, with a competitive base and performance bonuses tied to what you bring in.

• Own the Outcome. Start it, finish it, own it.
• Deliver Consistently. Maintain our standard, every time, everywhere.
• Forge Real Relationships. Be authentic, earn trust.
• Stay Gritty, Keep Growing. Push hard, keep improving.

Compensation and Benefits

• Salary range: $95,000 to $140,000 annually, plus performance bonuses
• Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
• Company-Paid Life Insurance
• 401(k) with 4% Company Match
• Paid Time Off and Sick Leave
• Optional Accident and Critical Illness Insurance
• Employee Assistance Program
