The organization has experienced substantial growth in recent years and is now supporting some of the region’s most visible utility, transportation, environmental restoration, and infrastructure programs.This position represents a unique opportunity to join an entrepreneurial, operations-driven organization at a pivotal stage of growth. Unlike many traditional environmental consulting roles that focus primarily on planning, permitting, or desktop compliance, this position sits at the intersection of environmental stewardship, field operations, construction monitoring, and client leadership.The selected individual will help establish and grow a large-scale environmental field services platform supporting biological monitoring, cultural resources, waters and wetlands compliance, stormwater management, and construction-phase environmental programs across multiple regions of California.THE OPPORTUNITYOur client has developed a reputation for solving complex field challenges by integrating environmental compliance professionals directly into active construction and infrastructure programs. Their teams include biologists, archaeologists, stormwater professionals, wetland specialists, restoration practitioners, environmental compliance personnel, and construction support staff working collaboratively to help clients maintain schedule certainty while meeting environmental obligations.As Environmental Program Manager, you will serve as a primary client-facing leader while helping oversee multidisciplinary teams, develop operational systems and workflows, coordinate project delivery, support program growth, and assist in the continued expansion of environmental service offerings throughout California.This is a highly collaborative leadership role that requires balancing client management, team leadership, operational oversight, project delivery, and business development.

Success will ultimately be measured by the ability to build teams, establish scalable systems, maintain client confidence, and drive successful project execution.CULTURE & LEADERSHIPEqually important, this opportunity offers something increasingly difficult to find within the environmental consulting and infrastructure services industry: the ability to make a meaningful impact within a growing organization where leadership remains accessible, visible, and actively engaged in both project delivery and staff development.While many larger organizations have become increasingly layered, segmented, and corporate in structure, our client has intentionally built a culture centered around collaboration, accountability, responsiveness, and practical problem solving. Employees are encouraged to contribute ideas, improve systems, take ownership of challenges, and help shape the direction of the organization.The leadership team places significant value on hiring and retaining high-quality people, creating opportunities for professional growth, and maintaining an environment where individuals can build long-term careers rather than simply fill positions.
