Executive Director, EHS Services (National)

This is a senior leadership role for someone who wants to own, scale, and shape a national EHS and emergency response platform within a fast-growing environmental firm.

You'll step into a business that already has strong momentum and take it to the next level-driving strategy, building out teams, expanding key client relationships, and ensuring consistent execution across regions. This role blends operations, business development, and leadership at a high level.

What You'll Be Doing

Own and grow a national EHS platform
Lead strategy and execution for emergency response, large-loss projects, and remediation services across the U.S.
Drive business performance
Take full ownership of P&L, including revenue growth, margins, and overall financial performance
Expand key client relationships
Act as a senior face to clients, helping secure and grow national accounts while strengthening long-term partnerships
Build and scale teams
Lead, mentor, and expand regional leadership and technical teams to support national growth and rapid response capabilities
Create operational consistency
Align teams, processes, and delivery standards across regions to ensure high-quality execution and client satisfaction
Partner across the business
Work closely with sales, technical teams, and local leadership to drive cross-selling and new market opportunities
Stay close to the work
Provide guidance on complex projects involving IH, asbestos, lead, mold, and remediation construction

What They're Looking For

~10+ years in environmental consulting, EHS, or remediation construction
Strong leadership background with direct P&L ownership
Experience leading multi-region or national operations
Track record managing large-scale projects ($1M+) and growing teams
Comfortable balancing strategy, operations, and client-facing work
Someone who thrives in a fast-paced, build-and-grow environment

Why This Role Stands Out

You're not inheriting a static business-you're building something bigger
You'll have real influence over how the platform scales nationally
Strong backing, resources, and existing client base to accelerate growth
The work is high-impact, both operationally and financially

Compensation

$160K-$215K base + performance bonus
Full benefits package and long-term growth opportunity

FAQs

I have applied for a role, what happens next?

Congratulations, we understand that taking the time to apply is a big step. When you apply, your details go directly to the consultant who is sourcing talent. Due to demand, we may not get back to all applicants that have applied. However, we always keep your CV and details on file so when we see similar roles or see skillsets that drive growth in organisations, we will always reach out to discuss opportunities.

This role doesn’t 100% suit my next professional move, can you help?

Yes. Even if this role isn’t a perfect match, applying allows us to understand your expertise and ambitions, ensuring you're on our radar for the right opportunity when it arises.

We also work in several ways, firstly we advertise our roles available on our site, however, often due to confidentiality we may not post all. We also work with clients who are more focused on skills and understanding what is required to future-proof their business.

That's why we recommend registering your CV so you can be considered for roles that have yet to be created.
