Environmental Project Manager, Pre-Construction

About this Role

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.
