Environmental Project Manager, Pre-Construction

The Environmental Project Manager (Env. PM) is a project-level execution role within Quanta Infrastructure Services Group (QISG), sitting within the Land & Environment PMO (PMO) and reporting directly to the Manager, Environmental Services. The Env. PM is the face of QISG's environmental program on their assigned projects carrying direct accountability for project outcomes, client satisfaction, and the day-to-day execution of environmental services activities.

This individual serves as the primary interface between field personnel, clients, regulatory agencies, Quanta operating companies (OpUs), and teaming partners at the project level, and is expected to build genuine, trust-based relationships with client counterparts that reflect the quality and reliability QISG is committed to delivering.

Depending on project size and complexity, the Env. PM may manage a single large-scale initiative or a portfolio of smaller projects simultaneously. In either case, the Env. PM maintains active visibility into all project activities, tracks schedule items and budget related to environmental services, and surfaces issues to the Manager quickly before they become problems for the client or the project.

The Env. PM owns the contract relationship with the environmental OpU or teaming partner on each assigned project, directing their work, holding them accountable to scope and schedule, and managing staff augmentation professionals where additional capacity is required. This PM's work spans from pre-construction preparation and construction permit procurement, through active construction compliance, and post-construction reclamation, monitoring, and warranty work.

The Env. PM oversees OpUs and teaming partners executing pre-construction permitting scope, during-construction environmental and permit compliance, through project closeout and reclamation warranty work. The Env. PM is accountable for the quality, schedule, and compliance integrity of all work performed but the hands‑on execution is carried out by the OpU or teaming partner under the PM's direction. The scope overseen includes:

• Environmental Work Plan & Compliance Planning: project-specific Environmental Work Plan and Compliance Plan development; environmental compliance training for construction personnel; plan maintenance throughout the project lifecycle
• Construction Environmental Permits & Plans:
  Construction Stormwater Permit (NPDES Section 402) and SWPPP; NPDES Dewatering Permit; SPCC Plan; construction dust and air quality permits and plans; floodplain development permits; vegetation management and restoration plans; resource monitoring plans; noxious weed mitigation plans; waste and spoils management plans; and completion of all conditions of approval for major land use permits prior to groundbreaking
• Access Authorizations:
  Temporary Use Permits (TUPs) for staging and construction areas; temporary access and driveway permits; road use agreements for county and local roads; road closure permits and traffic control plans; railroad ROW entry permits; oversize/overweight haul permits; ROW occupancy permits; tree removal permits; and construction signage installation where required
• Environmental Inspections & Construction Compliance: stormwater permit inspections and BMP enforcement; federal and state permit compliance inspections (BLM/USFS Plan of Development, mitigation measures, state land management licenses and easements); verification of construction staking, signage, and limits of disturbance; spill reporting and cleanup; hazardous waste management and reporting
• Resource Monitoring & Environmental Surveys: natural resource monitoring (wildlife, sensitive plants); cultural resource monitoring (archaeological sites, historic properties); tribal resource monitoring and coordination; paleontological resource monitoring; dust and air quality monitoring; hydrological monitoring for fish passage; year-of-construction biological surveys (raptor aerial/ground, migratory bird nest sweeps); and project design change surveys for biological or cultural resources
• Vegetation, Reclamation & Weed Management: vegetation clearing compliance monitoring; reclamation planning and seed mix selection; noxious weed control (weed wash placement, mapping, herbicide application); and plant salvage and transplant where required
• Post-Construction & Warranty Work: reclamation monitoring and corrective action tracking; post-construction noxious weed treatments; post-construction resource monitoring where required; and final environmental closeout documentation

The Env. PM integrates environmental permit timelines and compliance requirements into construction sequencing planning; works with the construction team to ensure all required environmental clearances are confirmed before work begins in each area. Participates in constructability reviews and pre-construction planning meetings as the environmental representative, bringing forward unresolved permit conditions, monitoring requirements,…
