Environmental Manager

The APEX Power Co. Project in Hubbard, TX, currently under Phase 1 construction, is expected to expand to 1.6 GW. It features a diverse mix of generation technologies, including Siemens SGT-800/400 simple cycle turbines, MAN/Everllence 18V51/60G gas reciprocating engines, GE LM6000/LM2500 simple cycle turbines, Pratt & Whitney FT8 simple cycle turbines, and a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), enabling flexible, reliable power output.

Future expansion may include additional GE aero and large frame units (6B, 7FA/7FB/7H) in simple or combined cycle configurations, allowing the plant to efficiently meet varying energy demands while supporting data center grid reliability.

The Environmental Manager at the APEX Power Co. Project will lead pre‑commissioning environmental activities to ensure all permits, regulatory approvals, and compliance systems are in place for safe, reliable plant start‑up. This role will oversee environmental risk management, monitoring, audits, and contractor compliance for the facility’s turbines, reciprocating engines, and battery energy storage systems. Once operational, the Environmental Manager will maintain regulatory compliance, lead inspections, manage reporting, and drive sustainability initiatives to support the plant’s safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible operation.

• Verify that all environmental permits, notifications, and regulatory approvals required for the facility’s commercial operation are in place, approved, and ready prior to start‑up, including those related to air, water, waste, chemical, and stormwater programs.
• Identify potential environmental risks during commissioning, develop mitigation measures, and implement controls to prevent spills, discharges, or other environmental incidents during testing and start‑up.
• Conduct environmental site inspections and internal audits to verify compliance with SPCC/FRP, SWPPP, and other pre‑commissioning environmental requirements.
• Ensure construction and commissioning contractors follow environmental policies and procedures during equipment installation, testing, and start‑up activities.
• Oversee environmental monitoring (emissions, stormwater, and wastewater) during turbine, engine, and BESS start‑up tests and temporary operations to demonstrate regulatory compliance before commercial operation.
• Establish EMS records, compliance plans, and reporting templates for operational readiness, ensuring all systems, equipment, and monitoring programs are prepared for transition to full operations.
• Provide environmental awareness training to commissioning engineers, operators, and contractors, and coordinate environmental requirements with operations and safety teams during pre‑commissioning.

• Coordinate, oversee, and implement daily multi‑media environmental programs, policies, and procedures to ensure compliance with federal, state, and site‑specific permit requirements.
• Ensure timely completion of Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) reporting in accordance with Title V permit requirements enforced by DEQ and EPA.
• Monitor and report on all regulated media (air, water, waste, and chemicals), including sampling, analysis, and submission of monthly, quarterly, semi‑annual, and annual regulatory reports to DEQ, EPA, and other relevant agencies.
• Maintain multi‑media environmental compliance plans and the Environmental Management System (EMS) filing system, including SPCC/FRP, SWPPP, and CEMS QA/QC programs.
• Lead regulatory inspections, coordinate site visits, respond to information requests, and support permit modifications, renewals, and environmental impact assessments for facility expansions or technology additions.
• Conduct internal…
