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 project conception through pre-construction preparation, with a focus on leading routing/siting efforts, major federal permit authorizations (NEPA, CEQA, etc.), state siting approval, and major land use authorization.

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 routing/siting, resource surveys, major permitting, and pre-construction preparation
• Cross-Discipline Integration - proactively engage with GIS, land rights, 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 scope 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 deliverables on assigned projects meet QISG quality standards, client specifications, permit conditions, and applicable regulatory requirements
• Reporting & Documentation — maintain accurate and complete project records, permit trackers, and compliance files, and deliver timely status reports to the Manager and client as required

Project-Level Client & Stakeholder Interface

• 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 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.

Environmental Scope Oversight

 

The Env. PM oversees OpUs and teaming partners executing scope related to routing/siting, federal and state permit authorizations, natural and cultural surveys, constructability reviews, and major land use permits. The Env. PM is accountable for the quality, schedule, and compliance integrity of all work performed — but the hands-on execution is carried out by the OpU or teaming partner under the PM's direction. The scope overseen includes:

• Routing & Siting — GIS opportunities and constraints mapping, routing and siting studies, field reconnaissance, public outreach and open houses, agency and stakeholder engagement, and data-driven route and site alternatives analysis
• Constructability Review & LOD/POD Development — ROW width determination, off-ROW permanent and temporary access identification, staging, pulling and guarding locations, material yards, and interstate, state, and local road use identification; coordinated with QISG Engineering and the constructing OpU
• Natural & Cultural Resource Surveys — biological, avian, cultural resource, botanical, and wetland surveys and delineations
• Land Use & Environmental Permitting — State & Local: Special Use Permits, Conditional Use Permits, Site Plan Approvals, and other applicable local land use authorizations. Federal: NEPA and state equivalents (CEQA); BLM ROW Grants and USFS Special Use Permits; CWA Section 404/401 and USACE coordination; ESA Sections 7 and 10; NHPA Section 106 and tribal consultation; Phase I/II ESA; CERCLA; MBTA; Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act; Coastal Zone Management Act; Farmland Protection Policy Act

Cross-Discipline Integration

• Actively participate in routing, GIS, and engineering design activities on assigned projects, ensuring environmental constraints — including sensitive resources, permit buffers, jurisdictional waters, cultural sites, and species habitat are surfaced before design decisions are finalized; integrate routing, permit timelines, and survey windows into the project schedule.
• Participate in constructability reviews and pre-construction planning meetings as the environmental representative; maintain ongoing communication with GIS, land rights, engineering, and construction counterparts to stay ahead of design changes and field conditions that could generate new permit needs or trigger additional surveys.

OpU & Teaming Partner Management

• Manage OpUs, teaming partners, environmental consultants, survey firms, and specialty subconsultants performing environmental tasks on assigned projects, ensuring alignment with QISG standards, client requirements, permit conditions, and applicable regulatory obligations
• Clearly communicate scope, schedule expectations, deliverable standards, and agency protocols at project kickoff and throughout execution; monitor partner performance continuously and take corrective action immediately when gaps are identified — escalate to the Manager when performance poses a risk to schedule, compliance, or the client relationship.

Schedule, Budget & Risk Management

• Maintain a detailed environmental task schedule for each assigned project, tracking progress against milestones including survey windows, permit submittal deadlines, and agency review timelines and escalating delivery risks to the Manager immediately.
• Monitor project-level environmental budget, flagging variances and emerging cost risks before they become reportable issues; coordinate with QISG's project controls team to ensure environmental milestones are accurately reflected in the integrated project schedule.

Quality Assurance & Compliance

• Apply QISG-approved templates, forms, and tools consistently across all project environmental activities; review and approve deliverables prepared by OpUs, consultants, and survey firms prior to submission to clients or regulatory agencies, ensuring technical accuracy, completeness, and consistency with the project permitting strategy.

Reporting & Documentation

• Maintain complete, accurate, and organized project environmental files for all assigned projects and ensure all permit status, condition tracking, and compliance data are kept current and accessible at all times.

• 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 routing and siting, natural and cultural resource surveys, and environmental permitting — sufficient to direct, review, and hold accountable the OpUs and teaming partners executing this work
• Working knowledge of federal and state environmental permitting frameworks applicable to transmission infrastructure, including NEPA, CWA Section 404, ESA Sections 7 and 10, NHPA Section 106, and applicable state and local equivalents
• 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 — including routing, GIS, land rights, engineering, and construction — and to ensure environmental requirements are integrated into project planning before problems arise
• 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 spatial analysis tools; ability to interpret constraint maps, alignment sheets, and survey data; working knowledge of Microsoft Office Suite
• Self-motivated and accountable, with a bias for action and the ability to drive execution under regulatory and schedule pressure
