About The Position

M2X Energy is seeking a senior Environmental Programs Manager to design and lead environmental permitting, emissions compliance, and internal audit infrastructure. This is a high-impact, cross-functional role that bridges the gap between complex regulatory strategy and practical field execution. Reporting to the EHS Lead and working in close alignment with the Director of Regulatory Compliance, you will collaborate with Engineering, Operations, and Safety to ensure our modular deployments maintain total regulatory integrity. Your core focus will be establishing the systems for emissions modeling, permit reporting, and compliant field operations. Within your first 12–18 months, you will have implemented a repeatable permitting playbook and digital source of truth that supports a growing fleet of deployments across multiple states If you’re excited about decarbonizing hard-to-abate emissions and have a strong foundation in environmental permitting and compliance, we encourage you to apply even if you do not meet every single requirement. In this role, you will have direct influence on how a new class of modular, low carbon fuel systems is deployed and scaled in the field.

Requirements

Experience: 5–10 years of practical experience in environmental permitting, emissions compliance, or EH&S within industrial or energy sectors.
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related physical science, or equivalent high-level professional experience; PE or CHMM a plus but not required.
Technical Knowledge: A strong working knowledge of air permitting frameworks (e.g., Minor/Major Source, Title V) and standard emission estimation methods including hands-on experience preparing or reviewing permit applications and emission inventories.
Operational Track Record: Proven experience maintaining organized compliance records and successfully preparing regulatory submittals.
Field Awareness: Familiarity with field-based EH&S practices, such as SPCC planning or emergency response, is considered a significant plus.
Core Skills: Exceptional organization and follow-through, with the ability to communicate complex requirements clearly to diverse teams.

Nice To Haves

Experience with:
Mobile or modular industrial operations, landfill gas project development, RNG operations, oil and gas, chemicals, or power generation.
Building or administering digital compliance tools (EHS software, BI dashboards, or similar).

Responsibilities

Design Permitting Program: Lead the end-to-end permitting lifecycle (Air, Water, Waste) across multiple jurisdictions, including drafting and coordinating air permit applications (e.g., Minor/Major Source, Title V) and associated technical documents. Manage day-to-day submissions to ensure timely approvals for mobile deployments.
Audit & Training Systems: Design and execute a company-wide internal audit program including audit schedules, checklists, findings, and corrective actions. Develop and deliver compliance training for field operations teams to ensure regulatory requirements are understood and met on-site.
Data Stewardship: Build and oversee a centralized digital "source of truth" using modern tools (e.g., SharePoint, EHS/compliance software, or similar) for all compliance data, including permit archives, emission logs, and agency correspondence.
Operational Integration: Partner with Engineering and Operations to review process changes and new deployments for permitting and emissions impacts, and feed constraints/conditions back into design and operating envelopes.
Compliance Tracking: Build dashboards or trackers for permit conditions, reporting deadlines (e.g., inventories, deviation reports, annual certifications), and monitoring requirements across all sites.
Stakeholder Liaison: Serve as a point of contact for internal teams, consultants, and regulators (state environmental agencies, EPA regional offices, local authorities). Stay current on evolving regulations and provide strategic updates to the Commercial Development and EHS teams.
