About us:

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 Manager, Environmental Services, is a senior field-facing leadership role within Quanta Infrastructure Services Group (QISG), reporting directly to the Director, Land & Environment PMO (PMO). This role serves a dual mandate: as a Regional Lead, the Manager holds primary accountability for client relationships, team performance, and portfolio oversight within a defined project portfolio; and as a functional specialist, the Manager oversees all aspects of environmental services delivery – including preparing pursuit materials and costs, managing environmental project managers assigned to discrete project tasks, and overseeing Quanta operating companies (OpUs) and/or teaming partners performing environmental scope – across transmission, substation, and related infrastructure projects. A key pillar of this role is to bring consistency to project execution to protect project schedules and continually leverage cutting edge project execution strategies and reporting to keep Quanta's craft labor constructing.

The environmental services scope managed by this role spans the full front-end project lifecycle: GIS-based opportunities and constraints mapping, routing and siting studies, constructability review and limits of disturbance development, natural and cultural resource surveys, and land use and environmental permitting across federal, state, and local regulatory frameworks. This individual operates as a trusted environmental advisor to utility clients within their portfolio, translating the Director's strategic direction into actionable field execution while surfacing ground-level insights back to PMO leadership.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

• Regional Leadership & Client Relationship Management: Serve as the primary point of accountability for major utility clients within an assigned geographic region, building deep familiarity with each client's organizational structure, environmental preferences, and reporting requirements; establish relationships with and work across all OpUs and vendors supporting project execution.

• Environmental Scope Oversight: Oversee OpUs and teaming partners executing the full front-end environmental scope across the regional portfolio.

• Land Use & Environmental Permitting: Oversee federal, state, and local environmental permit acquisition across the full suite of regulatory frameworks applicable to transmission and energy infrastructure.

• OpU & Teaming Partner Oversight: Oversee environmental scope execution from OpUs and teaming partners across the regional portfolio, including scope management, schedule milestones, change management, and cost management.

• Staffing, Workload Planning & Team Leadership: Manage staffing and workload distribution, serving as escalation point and mentor for project-level staff.

• Quality Oversight & Compliance: Ensure environmental deliverables meet contractual, regulatory, and QISG quality standards across all active projects in the region.

• Project Controls Integration & Reporting: Embed environmental task milestones into integrated project schedules and report portfolio status to the Director, PMO.

• Estimating, Risk Management & Proposal Support: Work with the PMO Director to develop estimates, risk registers, and proposal content for project pursuits.

• Dispute Resolution & Operational Liaison: Serve as primary liaison and dispute resolution authority between construction OpUs, vendors, and teaming partners.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING:

• Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science, Ecology, Environmental Planning, Natural Resources, or a closely related field; Master's degree preferred.

• 10+ years of progressive experience in environmental project management with a demonstrated focus on electric transmission or large-scale linear energy infrastructure projects; minimum 3–5 years in a supervisory or team leadership capacity.

• Demonstrated expertise across the front-end environmental project lifecycle for transmission infrastructure: routing and siting studies, GIS constraint mapping, natural and cultural resource surveys, constructability review, and federal and state environmental permitting.

• Deep working knowledge of natural and cultural resource survey methodologies — including biological, avian, botanical, wetland, and cultural resource surveys — and the ability to evaluate survey quality, interpret findings, and integrate results into permitting strategy.

• Comprehensive command of federal and state environmental permitting frameworks applicable to transmission infrastructure, including NEPA, CWA Section 404, ESA Sections 7 and 10, NHPA Section 106, BLM/USFS authorizations, and state and local land use permitting processes.

• Strong project management skills including schedule tracking, risk identification, budget oversight, and the ability to manage multiple concurrent projects across a regional portfolio.

• Proficiency in GIS and Microsoft Office Suite.

• Strong leadership presence with the ability to lead without direct authority, make sound decisions under regulatory and schedule pressure, develop junior team members, and facilitate resolution across OpUs, vendors, and client stakeholders.
