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.

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.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

• Project-Level Client & Stakeholder Interface — serve as the face of QISG environmental services on assigned projects, building trust-based client relationships, maintaining proactive communication, and escalating issues to the Manager quickly before they affect the project or the client experience
• Environmental Scope Oversight — own and manage the execution of environmental services on assigned projects, directing OpUs and teaming partners through pre-construction permitting, active construction compliance, and project closeout
• Cross-Discipline Integration — proactively engage with engineering and construction disciplines throughout the project to ensure permit procurement, compliance, and variances are embedded in the project schedule
• OpU & Teaming Partner Management — manage OpUs, teaming partners, environmental consultants, and survey firms performing environmental work on assigned projects, ensuring alignment with QISG standards, agency requirements, and project schedules
• Schedule, Budget & Risk Management — maintain active visibility into project environmental schedules and budgets, track task-level progress, and proactively identify and escalate risks before they impact project timelines or permit compliance
• Quality Assurance & Compliance — ensure all environmental deliverables on assigned projects meet QISG quality standards, client specifications, permit conditions, and applicable regulatory requirements
• 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

WHAT YOU'LL BRING:

• Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science, Ecology, Environmental Planning, Natural Resources, or a closely related field
• 4–7 years of progressive experience in environmental project management, with a preference for electric transmission, linear infrastructure, or large-scale energy project experience
• Working knowledge of environmental services processes — including pre-construction permitting and construction compliance
• Working knowledge of federal and state environmental permitting frameworks applicable to transmission and energy infrastructure; familiarity with construction environmental compliance requirements including SWPPP, SPCC plans, biological and cultural monitors, and permit condition implementation during active construction
• Familiarity with natural and cultural resource survey methodologies — including biological, avian, botanical, wetland, and cultural resource fieldwork — and agency-approved survey protocols and seasonal timing requirements
• Ability to work effectively across project disciplines
• Strong organizational and project management skills; ability to manage task-level detail across multiple concurrent projects while meeting schedule, budget, and reporting requirements
• Clear and effective written and verbal communication skills; demonstrated ability to build and maintain client relationships, deliver difficult news early, and escalate with the right information at the right time
• Proficiency in GIS and Microsoft Office Suite
• Self-motivated and accountable, with a bias for action and the ability to drive execution
