John Beath Environmental LLC (JBE) is a boutique sustainability and environmental compliance consultancy. Our fully remote team of roughly 15 highly experienced professionals deliver rigorous, practitioner-led work across GHG quantification, regulatory compliance, life cycle assessment, climate risk, and sustainability advisory. We operate with a start-up mentality and the delivery credibility of an established firm. Every team member is a significant contributor, and we hold each other to high standards.
JBE offers an environment where technical excellence and commercial contribution are equally valued. You will work alongside practitioners who have built GHG systems for Fortune 500 operators and household brands, supported corporate climate disclosures across multiple frameworks, and led multi-scope supply chain assessments. We do not layer management structures over good thinking. If you want to do meaningful work with rigorous colleagues, hold real accountability, and shape what a sustainability practice looks like in a boutique firm, this role is built for you.
The Role
JBE is seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to serve as a critical bridge between our Environmental Compliance and Sustainability practices. This role carries meaningful responsibility: you will manage client engagements end-to-end, serve as a primary point of contact for clients, and contribute technical depth across environmental regulatory compliance focused primarily on air, greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting, and emerging sustainability frameworks.
The right candidate brings deep air quality permitting and compliance experience, oil and gas sector fluency, strong project management instincts, and the ability to translate complex regulatory requirements into clear, actionable guidance for clients.
