Why This Role Matters

As a Managing Consultant, Site Investigation & Remediation Management Engineer in the Pacific Northwest, you will lead civil and sediment engineering aspects of ERM’s Site Investigation and Remediation Management (SI/RM) practice. This role integrates upland and aquatic remedial design, grading and earthwork, stormwater management, and civil site development to support projects that protect human health, restore aquatic environments, and enable sustainable redevelopment.

 

You will serve as a technical leader for civil and sediment-related design, guiding multidisciplinary teams through investigation, concept development, permitting, and construction documentation. Your leadership will influence projects regionally and nationally, while connecting with ERM’s global network to advance best practices worldwide.

 

This position can be based in a local ERM office with hybrid status or fully remote if 100 miles away from an ERM office.

 

What Your Impact Is

• Lead civil and sediment engineering design for investigation and remediation projects from concept to completion.

• Develop and oversee plans and specifications for grading, earthwork, stormwater systems, erosion and sediment control measures, and in‑water sediment remedial features.

• Support in‑water sediment remediation design elements such as caps, armor layers, sediment isolation systems, containment features, and implementation staging.

• Evaluate hydraulic, erosion, and constructability considerations affecting sediment stability and long‑term performance of aquatic and near‑shore remedies.

• Apply Civil 3D–based workflows to grading, drainage, access features, temporary works, and upland infrastructure supporting in‑water remediation activities.

• Coordinate civil and sediment engineering scopes with environmental, geotechnical, and construction disciplines to support permitting and agency review.

• Shape technical strategies and introduce cutting-edge digital tools and data analytics to optimize project outcomes.

• Mentor and inspire teams, fostering growth and excellence across ERM’s SI/RM practice.

• Build strong client relationships and expand ERM’s market presence through exceptional delivery and strategic business development.

 

What You’ll Bring

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering or environmental engineering  or closely related discipline.

• 4+ years of consulting experience that include:

• - Sediment engineering, including design support for in‑water or near‑water remediation (e.g., sediment caps, stabilization, erosion resistance, or removal support).

• - Experience supporting CERCLA‑style state or federal investigation and remediation projects, including sediment site investigations or remedial actions.

• - Civil site design for grading, earthwork, and stormwater management.

• - Preparation of plans and specifications for remediation, redevelopment, renewable energy, or infrastructure projects.

• Proficiency with AutoCAD Civil 3D for grading, surfaces, drainage, and plan production.

• Working knowledge of Pacific Northwest regulations related to sediment remediation, stormwater, and environmental permitting.

• Proven project management expertise and ability to lead multi-person teams.

• Excellent communication, strategic thinking, and mentoring skills.

• Ability to travel for site visits and client meetings.

• Driver's License Required: This position requires a valid driver's license and/or the ability to operate a company vehicle due to the nature of job duties, which include frequent travel to various client locations across a large geographical area.

• This position is not eligible for immigration sponsorship.

 

Preferred:

• Master’s or Ph.D. in civil engineering, environmental engineering, or related discipline.

• Professional Engineer (PE) license, or ability to obtain within one year.

 

Key Responsibilities

• Manage multiple civil design or investigation and remediation projects, ensuring scope, budget, and schedule compliance.

• Collaborate with ERM’s global experts to deliver best-in-class solutions.

• Provide leadership in staff development, performance management, and retention.

• Drive business growth through client relationship management and cross-selling ERM’s services.

• Contribute to technical innovation and share knowledge across ERM’s global network.
