• Coordinate the planning, staffing, scheduling, budget management, quality control, safety and organization of contractors, subcontractors, and internal technical and support staff.
• Participate in project decisions regarding technical approaches, cost and scheduling performance. Identify schedule and cost variances and develop and implement recommendations for corrective action.
• Communicate and manage conflict with internal project teams, other contractors, and client teams.
• Have strong written and oral communication skills and a team‑oriented attitude.
• Act as one of the prime contacts with the client team and be responsible for overall work progress, technical performance, and overall client satisfaction with the projects. Actively seek and develop both follow‑on and new work for additional work for the clients served.
• Work with project delivery leadership and support team development through coaching and mentoring.
• Coordinate planning, permitting, design, field implementation, and reporting activities with staff, subcontractors, stakeholders, and clients.
• Support other project managers and program managers in all aspects of delivering technically challenging projects for major client accounts.

What You’ll Need

• Bachelor or advanced degree in engineering, geology, hydrogeology, environmental science, or a closely related field.
• A candidate who is a practicing Connecticut LEP.
• Demonstrated prior experience in managing environmental projects for private or government clients with a strong track record that includes planning, investigation, remediation, and monitoring of impaired properties under state and federal programs.
• The position involves travel in New England, primarily, but may also involve some travel outside of the New England area.
• Experience in remediation design and construction oversight considered a plus.
• 40‑hour HAZWOPER certification and 8‑hour refreshers up to date.
