Project Manager III - Ecological Restoration

You’ll lead high-impact restoration projects from start to finish

You’ll be given autonomy and trusted to make critical decisions

You’ll mentor junior staff and help build a stronger, smarter PM team

You’ll influence long-term environmental outcomes and see your impact on the ground

You’ll join a company where science, teamwork, and restoration align

A Day in the Life

Your days will be dynamic—balancing technical planning with field realities. You’ll start by finalizing your Risk Register and Project Plan, check in with your design and construction teams, and follow up on permits. In the afternoon, you might visit a restoration site to coordinate with subcontractors and monitor progress, then report on budget performance and percent complete.

You’ll use RES’s PM Best Practices (Opportunity Charters, Risk Registers, MS Project schedules) to manage scope, risk, and timelines. Whether you’re speaking with regulators, adjusting plans due to unexpected site conditions, or presenting updates to a client—you’ll lead with clarity, purpose, and professionalism.

We would love to talk to you if you have many of the following:

A Bachelor’s degree in applied sciences, engineering, or construction (or equivalent experience)

At least 10 years of experience in environmental, restoration, or construction-related fields

6+ years of direct project management experience

Advanced knowledge of project management tools and documentation practices

Strong background in regulatory processes and permit management

Experience managing budgets, subcontractors, schedules, and multi-disciplinary teams

Strong communication skills and ability to manage risk, scope, and client expectations

Demonstrated success using PM Best Practices (Charters, Risk Registers, BMPs)

Ability to mentor junior PMs or lead project teams across departments

Familiarity with financial reporting, forecasting, and project margin tracking

What Will Make You Stand Out

PMP certification, PE/PG license, or an advanced degree

Experience leading multi-phase mitigation, conservation, or restoration projects
