Wilmington, NC | Hybrid/Remote eligible | Travel: 10-20% (Project Dependent)

You will own a portfolio of federal environmental compliance programs, about $1.5 M annually across DoD clients, with a focus on RCRA hazardous waste, hazmat management, and EPCRA reporting. You'll lead a team of 3-6 direct reports, be the primary contact for strategic DoD clients, including installation-level contacts, and be accountable for technical quality, financial performance, and client satisfaction. This role requires a self-directed professional who can independently set priorities, exercise sound judgment, and effectively lead and manage projects with minimal oversight.

The compensation range for this role is $120k to $140k commensurate with experience, skills, and geographic location.

To thrive in this role, you'll be comfortable taking ownership of the following responsibilities:

• Program delivery: You'll be accountable for scope, schedule, budget, and quality across multiple concurrent projects, including EAC/ETCs, invoicing, subcontractor oversight, and contract compliance.
• Technical authority: You'll approve waste stream determinations and oversee Tier II, TRI, and hazardous chemical inventory reporting. You'll be the final technical reviewer on RCRA and hazmat compliance deliverables.
• Client leadership: You'll be the trusted advisor to federal client leadership. You'll lead meetings with clients and regulators, deliver hard news directly, and spot opportunities to grow the work.
• People leadership: You'll hire, develop, and manage the performance of 3-6 environmental professionals, setting workload priorities and building the team's skills.
• Growth: You'll lead technical approaches and level-of-effort and pricing estimates for federal compliance task order proposals (USACE, NAVFAC, AFCEC, Army, EPA), and take part in capture strategy for mining existing contract vehicles.
• Regulatory strategy: You'll track changes in regulations and advise clients on how they affect operations.
