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
