Environmental & Permitting Manager / Senior Manager

Remote - United States (Travel Required)

Build the projects that power the future.

Are you energized by shaping large-scale infrastructure from the ground up? Do you thrive at the intersection of environmental stewardship, permitting strategy, and project development? This is an opportunity to play a pivotal role in advancing utility-scale energy, energy storage, and data center projects across the U.S.-working alongside experienced development leaders in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment.

In this role, you'll have real ownership. You'll influence project timelines, manage high-impact permitting strategies, work directly with regulators and communities, and help bring complex infrastructure projects to life. If you're looking for autonomy, visibility, and the chance to work on nationally significant projects, this role delivers.

The Role

The Environmental & Permitting Manager / Senior Manager will lead and support environmental and discretionary land-use permitting efforts for large-scale energy and infrastructure projects across the United States. This role reports to a Director of Development and partners closely with Development Directors , supporting projects from early development through construction.

This position is fully remote and open to candidates located anywhere in the U.S., with willingness to travel up to 30% domestically .

What You'll Do

Lead and manage local, state, and federal environmental and land-use permitting processes

Support Development Directors with permitting strategy, risk assessment, schedules, and execution

Oversee preparation and review of:

Natural resource surveys

Land-use applications

Environmental impact reports and technical studies

Develop practical permitting strategies, including avoidance, minimization, and mitigation approaches

Manage environmental compliance during development and construction phases

Coordinate with cross-functional teams including Development, Engineering, Transmission/Interconnection, Capital Markets, and Data Center teams

Select, contract, and manage external environmental and permitting consultants

Build and maintain strong relationships with regulatory agencies, jurisdictions, landowners, and community stakeholders

Support project finance and transaction diligence related to permitting and environmental risk

Manage multiple projects simultaneously while meeting schedule and budget commitments

Travel nationally up to 30%

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science, Biology, Ecology, Land Use Planning, Geography , or related field

8+ years of professional environmental/permitting experience

5+ years supporting permitting and compliance for utility-scale renewable energy, energy storage, or data center projects

Mandatory experience with:

CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act)

LIPA or large-scale infrastructure approval processes

Strong knowledge of U.S. environmental and permitting regulations, including:

Clean Water Act (CWA)

Clean Air Act (CAA)

National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)

Endangered Species Act (ESA)

Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA)

RCRA and EPCRA

Proven experience securing discretionary land-use approvals , such as:

Conditional and special use permits

Zoning changes and plan amendments

Development agreements

Federal Rights-of-Way (BLM, BIA, DOE)

Experience obtaining federal approvals

Ability to manage multiple time-sensitive projects across jurisdictions

Strong communication skills and comfort engaging with regulators, consultants, and executive-level stakeholders

Preferred Experience

Utility-scale solar, wind, battery storage, or data center infrastructure

Multi-state or national project portfolios

Direct collaboration with environmental attorneys, engineers, planners, and project managers

Compensation & Benefits

Base Salary: $140,000 - $170,000 (depending on level, experience, and location)

Eligibility for bonus and long-term incentive compensation

Comprehensive benefits package including health, retirement, and paid time off

Why This Role Stands Out

Nationwide projects with meaningful scale and impact

High visibility and direct collaboration with development leadership

Remote flexibility with engaging, on-the-ground project work

Opportunity to shape permitting strategy on complex, high-value infrastructure
