Program Manager, Environmental & Waste Management

Program Manager, Environmental & Waste Management

If you're the kind of person who sees environmental compliance not as a checklist—but as a mission—you'll feel right at home here. As our Program Manager, Environmental & Waste Management, you'll be the force that keeps our operations clean, compliant, and ahead of the curve. You'll partner with engineers, operators, and regulators to make sure everything we do respects both the environment and the critical work we support. Think of this role as part strategist, part detective, and part environmental champion—keeping our site running safely while navigating complex regulations with confidence.

You will lead and evolve environmental and waste management programs across the site—ensuring compliance with air, water, and waste regulations while keeping operations moving forward. This includes developing and maintaining permits, partnering with regulators, reviewing designs and procedures for compliance, conducting inspections and assessments, and analyzing environmental data to identify risks or trends. You'll guide teams and contractors in day-to-day compliance, investigate issues when they arise, and implement smart, lasting corrective actions. Along the way, you'll keep leadership informed and ensure our environmental programs are not only compliant—but resilient and forward-thinking.
