About The Position

Ready to own your projects again? Earth Systems is seeking an Environmental Project Manager in Lantana, Florida for professionals who want more than a narrow slice of a massive org chart. If you’ve spent years managing fragments of projects at a large consulting firm and are ready to lead remediation work end-to-end — from investigation and permitting through construction, regulatory closure, and client delivery — this role gives you that seat at the table. You’ll manage technically complex petroleum and chlorinated solvent remediation projects, including port, coastal, and construction-adjacent work, with direct access to decision-makers, regulators, and clients. This is a hands-on, high-trust role for professionals who want autonomy, visibility, and real impact — without layers of approval slowing every decision.

Requirements

4+ years of progressive experience in environmental consulting, remediation, or environmental project management.
Experience managing petroleum and/or chlorinated solvent remediation sites.
Working knowledge of Florida DEP remediation programs; experience interfacing with EPA or federal regulatory frameworks is a plus.
Experience preparing and reviewing technical reports, remediation plans, and regulatory closure documentation.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Environmental Engineering, Geology, Environmental Science, or a related field.
OSHA 40-hour HAZWOPER required.
Valid driver’s license.

Nice To Haves

Experience supporting or leading projects involving active construction, infrastructure, ports, coastal facilities, or redevelopment sites strongly preferred.
Professional licensure (PE, PG, or similar) preferred or on a licensure track.
Candidates with additional experience (8–10+ years), advanced technical leadership, or licensure will be considered for expanded responsibility and growth opportunities.

Manage Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments, site characterization, and feasibility evaluations.
Design, implement, and optimize remediation systems including AS/SVE, DPE, ISCO, metabolic enhancement, and other appropriate technologies.

Manage remediation projects associated with ports, terminals, coastal infrastructure, utilities, transportation corridors, and redevelopment sites.
Serve as primary technical liaison with Florida DEP (FDEP) and coordinate with EPA, water management districts, and local authorities as required.
Apply Florida’s risk-based cleanup framework (including Chapter 62-780 and Petroleum Restoration Program principles).
Prepare and manage environmental permits and regulatory submittals (air, water, SPCC, SWPPP, waste management).
Deliver regulatory closures including No Further Action (NFA) determinations, Site Rehabilitation Completion Orders (SRCOs), and institutional/environmental controls.
