Our turnkey service capabilities provide our customers with efficiency, consistency, attention to detail and safe execution. The QISG team brings together Engineering, Safety, Quality, Material Procurement, QA/QC, Right-of-Way Acquisition, Scheduling, Environmental Planning, Permitting, Title and Land Management expertise that ensure outstanding results for our clients.
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.

- Reporting & Documentation — maintain accurate and complete project environmental records, permit trackers, and compliance files, and deliver timely status reports to the Manager and client as required
- Serve as the face of QISG's environmental program on assigned projects owning the client relationship at the project level, building genuine trust with client counterparts, and demonstrating through consistent follow-through that QISG is a reliable and technically excellent partner.
- Maintain proactive, regular communication with client representatives — never waiting for the client to ask for an update; attend and represent environmental and compliance interests in project meetings, progress reviews, and agency coordination calls.
- Develop a working knowledge of each client's organizational structure, priorities, and reporting preferences; ensure reporting requirements are understood from kickoff and met consistently in the format and cadence each client requires.

- Integrate environmental permit timelines and compliance requirements into construction sequencing planning; work with the construction team to ensure all required environmental clearances are confirmed before work begins in each area.
- Participate in constructability reviews and pre-construction planning meetings as the environmental representative, bringing forward unresolved permit conditions, monitoring requirements, seasonal restrictions, and access constraints the construction team needs to plan around.
