Senior Environmental Project Director - Brownfield Real Estate

Our client is seeking an experienced environmental consulting professional to join their growing New York City team as a Senior Environmental Project Director within their Brownfield Real Estate group.

The team has a substantial backlog of work and is looking for a senior technical leader who can immediately help deliver complex Brownfield and real estate redevelopment projects across the New York metropolitan area.

• Competitive compensation, annual performance bonus and employee stock purchase plan.
• Excellent long-term career progression within a growing national consultancy.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead complex Brownfield redevelopment and environmental investigation/remediation projects from planning through completion.
• Manage project scope, budgets, schedules and multidisciplinary project teams.
• Serve as a technical leader on environmental due diligence, site investigation and remediation projects.
• Review technical data, develop conceptual site models and provide practical remediation recommendations.
• Mentor and develop junior consultants, project managers and technical staff.
• Build and maintain strong client relationships while supporting ongoing business development activities.
• Coordinate with regulatory agencies, subcontractors and project stakeholders.

• Approximately 15+ years of environmental consulting experience.
• Strong experience managing Brownfield redevelopment, contaminated site investigation and remediation projects.
• Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary project teams.
• Strong project management skills with responsibility for budgets, schedules and client communication.
• Experience mentoring and developing junior staff.
