Senior Environmental Project Manager

The Opportunity:

I’m partnering with a highly successful, 50-person energy consulting and environmental compliance firm based in Westchester County, New York. As a dominant player controlling over 50% of the demand response market in the NYC metro area, they are actively looking to hire a Senior Environmental Project Manager to lead their compliance division.

This is a technical, fully on-site leadership position suited for a seasoned environmental engineering professional who thrives on leading capital projects, navigating complex permitting processes, and mentoring a team of engineers. For the right candidate bringing strong executive presence and technical rigor, this role offers a clear succession path to a Vice President title.

• Guiding engineering and capital improvement projects, providing specification and bid review assistance, and conducting compliance reviews
• Managing comprehensive environmental compliance and permitting activities across air, water, and waste (hazardous, medical, solid, liquid)
• Ensuring regulatory adherence to Federal and State laws, including Title V Permitting, NYSDEC regulations, RCRA, CERCLA, and the Clean Water Act
• Conducting cooling tower inspections and evaluating stationary combustion sources such as boilers, generators, fuel storage tanks, chillers, and Cogen plants
• Assisting clients in navigating permitting processes for generator enrollment in coordinated demand response and peak shaving programs
• Preparing engineering feasibility studies, annual Tier II chemical inventory reports, and Local Law 84 Energy Benchmarking Reports
• Soliciting bids and coordinating with agencies for compliance, ensuring facilities follow stack test protocols and properly report emissions results
• Coordinating with manufacturers, contractors, design engineers, and agencies to supervise design, installation, and construction
• Delegating project tasks and actively training and mentoring less experienced engineers and junior staff members

What You'll Need to Be Successful:

• Minimum of 5 years of direct experience in environmental compliance engineering and project management
• Minimum Master’s Degree in Chemical, Civil, or Environmental Engineering
• Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in New York, or actively on track to obtain your PE license
• Strong knowledge of NYCDOB, FDNY, and ECB regulations, as well as Façade and Local Laws
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a strong executive presence for client meetings and proposal writing
• Proficiency in MS Office and standard industry reporting tools

Compensation Range: $140,000 base salary (up to $160,000 total target compensation with quarterly bonuses) plus benefits.
