Lead Complex Industrial Remediation Projects That Shape Safer, More Sustainable Sites
At ERM, we don’t just manage remediation projects—we restore sites, protect communities, and enable the safe transition of complex industrial assets. As a Managing Technical Consultant, Remediation, Demolition and Construction Manager, you will play a critical, on-the-ground leadership role delivering high-impact decommissioning, decontamination, and demolition (DDD) projects across the U.S.

You’ll be trusted to lead field execution, oversee contractors, manage risk, and ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and to ERM’s exacting standards.
Why This Role Matters
Industrial remediation and demolition projects carry significant environmental, safety, regulatory, and operational complexity. In this role, you are the linchpin between planning and execution—ensuring that ERM’s remediation strategies are implemented flawlessly in the field. Your work directly supports the safe closure, redevelopment, and revitalization of legacy industrial sites while strengthening ERM’s reputation as a trusted global environmental consultancy.

- Willingness to travel extensively, with 80–90% of time spent in the field

Key Responsibilities
- Serve as ERM’s on-site manager overseeing DDD projects at industrial facilities including oil and gas sites, power plants, and former chemical manufacturing facilities
- Manage field construction projects involving demolition, environmental remediation, civil works, site development, earthwork, and hazardous waste management
- Assist with planning, scheduling, and oversight of remediation and DDD projects
- Review contractor submittals and ensure compliance with project specifications and regulatory requirements
- Provide construction management support and quality assurance/quality control
- Support site investigations and hazardous materials handling activities
