About The Position

At ERM we are shaping a sustainable future with the world's leading organizations, including leading energy as well as pure-play industrial decarbonization companies to help them plan for, develop, and effectively operate both traditional and non-traditional energy assets. ERM works closely with our clients at every stage of their asset life cycle including identifying and assessing sites, managing stakeholder engagement, securing construction and operating permits for new energy infrastructure. To further strengthen our organization’s ability to create and implement innovative solutions that translate into clear and measurable business value for our clients, ERM is seeking an experienced professional to join our firm as a key client-facing Partner to join our Capital Project Development Team, with a focus on our Energy clients. ERM’s Capital Project Delivery services focus on supporting the development of projects and operation of assets. This role will focus largely on traditional energy sector (oil and gas) within the Gulf Coast footprint, and beyond. Our goal is always the same: assist our clients in achieving project success, from planning through construction and operation, while meeting expectations for assessment and management of impacts on environmental, social, health and cultural resources. By helping clients bring these issues into the project planning process early and driving sustainability across the entire lifecycle, we seek to help our clients meet environmental/social performance objectives, enable savings in capital and operating costs, and avoid significant approval and other delays. We will consider strong candidates in our Gulf Coast geography, especially in Houston, New Orleans, Dallas and Austin, as well as in Florida.
