Managing Consultant, Site Investigation & Remediation Management Engineer

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.
