Environmental Project Manager (NYC Metro Area)
Make an impact on some of NYC’s most complex remediation projects.
We’re partnering with a growing environmental consulting firm with a strong backlog of work across NYC. They are looking to bring on an Environmental Project Manager who can lead high-profile investigation and remediation efforts while building strong client relationships and helping shape the future of their practice.
This is an opportunity to step into a visible, client-facing role where you’ll manage projects from investigation through closure across the five boroughs, working closely with agencies like NYSDEC and NYC OER.
What You’ll Be Doing
Lead environmental investigation and remediation projects from start to finish, including Phase I/II ESAs and remedial design/implementation

Prepare and review key regulatory submittals (RAWP, SMP, work plans, closure reports)
Oversee field activities including soil, groundwater, and vapor investigations, as well as construction/remediation oversight
Manage project financials (budgeting, forecasting, invoicing) to keep work on track and profitable
Coordinate with subcontractors, field teams, and internal staff across multiple concurrent projects
Support proposals and help drive continued growth of the practice
What They’re Looking For
6+ years of experience in environmental consulting with a focus on remediation and site investigation
Strong understanding of NYSDEC and NYC OER programs and regulatory processes
Proven experience managing projects, clients, and budgets
Hands-on technical experience (sampling, CAMP, construction oversight)
Strong report writing skills across Phase I/II ESAs and remedial documents
OSHA 40-Hour HAZWOPER; SST preferred
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Strong project pipeline
across NYC — stability + variety of work
High visibility role
with direct client interaction and ownership
Growth-oriented team
where you’ll have a voice in shaping projects and processes
Balanced work environment
with a mix of office, field, and hybrid flexibility
Tight-knit culture
focused on collaboration, mentorship, and long-term relationships

Mix of office coordination and field oversight
Exposure to diverse NYC remediation and development projects
