Senion Environmental Project Manager / Technical Lead
Environmental scientist job in San Jose, CA
Senior Environmental Project Manager / Technical Lead
Sequence has been exclusively retained and is currently seeking a Senior Environmental Project Manager / Technical Lead to join one of California's most respected and steadily growing environmental consulting practices.
This is currently the region's most compelling opportunity in the niche environmental sector - a chance to step into a mid-sized, high-quality firm with an active backlog of work, a strong Northern California footprint, and a leadership team known for technical depth, pragmatism, and long-term client relationships.
Our client blends scientific rigor with real-world practicality and is widely recognized for its work in site assessment, remediation, vapor intrusion (VI) evaluation/mitigation, risk management, and environmental advisory services. The organization is currently expanding its Bay Area team and seeking a seasoned practitioner who can take ownership of key projects while contributing to the continued growth of the practice.
We are specifically tasked with identifying a California PE or PG (preferred) with strong experience in environmental investigation and remediation programs - someone capable of planning, directing, coordinating, and implementing project activities from concept through closure while maintaining schedule, budget, compliance, and client expectations.
Ideally this would be a professional capable of serving in a true seller/doer role: an individual who is comfortable managing active projects, developing client relationships, assisting with proposals, mentoring staff, and cultivating new opportunities within the firm's expanding regional portfolio.
Key Responsibilities include:
Project and task management - scheduling, budgeting, cost tracking, and technical execution.
Direct oversight of soil and groundwater investigations, remediation programs, and mitigation systems evaluation.
Supporting proposal development, presentations, and broader business development initiatives.
Helping shape the ongoing growth of the Northern California practice.
Mentoring junior and mid-level staff; contributing to the continued development of technical capabilities within the group.
Preparation of work plans, sampling plans, technical reports, RAWs, RI/FS elements, and other regulatory deliverables. Familiarity with soil properties, common contaminants, and the full arc of investigation-through-closure is essential.
Acting as primary point of contact for clients and regulatory agencies (DTSC, RWQCB, local jurisdictions, etc.).
This is an excellent opportunity for an individual who brings both technical credibility and practical judgment - someone comfortable guiding projects across a diverse array of regulatory frameworks and environmental challenges. It could be the right home for a senior practitioner seeking to find a long-term home or talented mid-to-senior level professional looking to take a step up into key leadership role.
The firm places high value on clear communication, client interaction, regulatory navigation, and the ability to translate technical complexity into actionable solutions. The broader organization is built on a people-first philosophy. Leadership emphasizes respect, collaboration, and long-term commitment to staff development. Many team members have grown internally for years as the company evolved from a smaller boutique practice into a recognized, multi-disciplinary consultancy. Their workplace culture has been recognized nationally through multiple “Best Firms To Work For” awards within the AEC industry.
That same approach carries over to benefits and compensation. Beyond a competitive salary and bonuses/incentives for performance, the firm offers comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for families, retirement contributions, paid holidays and PTO, annual incentives, and additional benefits designed to promote long-term stability and professional growth. Essentially anything of reason can be structured for the right individual.
This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated, career-focused environmental professional who wants to step into a strategic role with real influence - leading key projects, deepening client relationships, and helping shape the ongoing expansion of a respected consulting practice in here in California.
The position is slated to be based here in the San Francisco Bay Area in a hybrid arrangement, with a balance of remote work with occasional travel to office and client operations/sites as applicable.

Senion Environmental Project Manager / Technical Lead
Environmental scientist job in Fremont, CA
Senior Environmental Project Manager / Technical Lead
Sequence has been exclusively retained and is currently seeking a Senior Environmental Project Manager / Technical Lead to join one of California's most respected and steadily growing environmental consulting practices.
This is currently the region's most compelling opportunity in the niche environmental sector - a chance to step into a mid-sized, high-quality firm with an active backlog of work, a strong Northern California footprint, and a leadership team known for technical depth, pragmatism, and long-term client relationships.
Our client blends scientific rigor with real-world practicality and is widely recognized for its work in site assessment, remediation, vapor intrusion (VI) evaluation/mitigation, risk management, and environmental advisory services. The organization is currently expanding its Bay Area team and seeking a seasoned practitioner who can take ownership of key projects while contributing to the continued growth of the practice.
We are specifically tasked with identifying a California PE or PG (preferred) with strong experience in environmental investigation and remediation programs - someone capable of planning, directing, coordinating, and implementing project activities from concept through closure while maintaining schedule, budget, compliance, and client expectations.
Ideally this would be a professional capable of serving in a true seller/doer role: an individual who is comfortable managing active projects, developing client relationships, assisting with proposals, mentoring staff, and cultivating new opportunities within the firm's expanding regional portfolio.
Key Responsibilities include:
Project and task management - scheduling, budgeting, cost tracking, and technical execution.
Direct oversight of soil and groundwater investigations, remediation programs, and mitigation systems evaluation.
Supporting proposal development, presentations, and broader business development initiatives.
Helping shape the ongoing growth of the Northern California practice.
Mentoring junior and mid-level staff; contributing to the continued development of technical capabilities within the group.
Preparation of work plans, sampling plans, technical reports, RAWs, RI/FS elements, and other regulatory deliverables. Familiarity with soil properties, common contaminants, and the full arc of investigation-through-closure is essential.
Acting as primary point of contact for clients and regulatory agencies (DTSC, RWQCB, local jurisdictions, etc.).
This is an excellent opportunity for an individual who brings both technical credibility and practical judgment - someone comfortable guiding projects across a diverse array of regulatory frameworks and environmental challenges. It could be the right home for a senior practitioner seeking to find a long-term home or talented mid-to-senior level professional looking to take a step up into key leadership role.
The firm places high value on clear communication, client interaction, regulatory navigation, and the ability to translate technical complexity into actionable solutions. The broader organization is built on a people-first philosophy. Leadership emphasizes respect, collaboration, and long-term commitment to staff development. Many team members have grown internally for years as the company evolved from a smaller boutique practice into a recognized, multi-disciplinary consultancy. Their workplace culture has been recognized nationally through multiple “Best Firms To Work For” awards within the AEC industry.
That same approach carries over to benefits and compensation. Beyond a competitive salary and bonuses/incentives for performance, the firm offers comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for families, retirement contributions, paid holidays and PTO, annual incentives, and additional benefits designed to promote long-term stability and professional growth. Essentially anything of reason can be structured for the right individual.
This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated, career-focused environmental professional who wants to step into a strategic role with real influence - leading key projects, deepening client relationships, and helping shape the ongoing expansion of a respected consulting practice in here in California.
The position is slated to be based here in the San Francisco Bay Area in a hybrid arrangement, with a balance of remote work with occasional travel to office and client operations/sites as applicable.

Their workplace culture has been recognized nationally through multiple “Best Firms To Work For” awards within the AEC industry.
That same approach carries over to benefits and compensation. Beyond a competitive salary and bonuses/incentives for performance, the firm offers comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for families, retirement contributions, paid holidays and PTO, annual incentives, and additional benefits designed to promote long-term stability and professional growth. Essentially anything of reason can be structured for the right individual.
This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated, career-focused environmental professional who wants to step into a strategic role with real influence - leading key projects, deepening client relationships, and helping shape the ongoing expansion of a respected consulting practice in here in California.
The position is slated to be based here in the San Francisco Bay Area in a hybrid arrangement, with a balance of remote work with occasional travel to office and client operations/sites as applicable.
