Partner, Diversified Energy, Capital Projects - Environmental Permitting & Impact Assessment

ERM
Austin, TX Full Time
POSTED ON 11/16/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 12/15/2025
At ERM we are shaping a sustainable future with the world's leading organizations, including leading energy as well as pure-play industrial decarbonization companies to help them plan for, develop, and effectively operate both traditional and non-traditional energy assets. ERM works closely with our clients at every stage of their asset life cycle including identifying and assessing sites, managing stakeholder engagement, securing construction and operating permits for new energy infrastructure.

To further strengthen our organization’s ability to create and implement innovative solutions that translate into clear and measurable business value for our clients, ERM is seeking an experienced professional to join our firm as a key client-facing Partner to join our Capital Project Development Team, with a focus on Diversified Energy clients.

ERM’s Capital Project Delivery services focus on supporting the development of projects and operation of assets. This role will focus largely on traditional energy sector and decarbonization companies within the Gulf Coast footprint, and beyond. Our goal is always the same: assist our clients in achieving project success, from planning through construction and operation, while meeting expectations for assessment and management of impacts on environmental, social, health and cultural resources. By helping clients bring these issues into the project planning process early and driving sustainability across the entire lifecycle, we seek to help our clients meet environmental/social performance objectives, enable savings in capital and operating costs, and avoid significant approval and other delays.

We will consider strong candidates in our Gulf Coast geography, especially in Houston, New Orleans, Dallas and Austin, as well as in Florida.

You will play a key role in growing ERM’s Capital Project Development services and business, through:

  • Working with the North America (NA) Regional Service Leadership team to contribute to robust, proactive Go-to-Market programs to drive commercial growth for decarbonization projects and alternative energy projects and other Low Carbon Economy Transition projects.
  • Collaboration with client account directors / account managers as well as NA Regional Service Leaders to implement client and market segment specific consulting programs for the region.
  • Assist our clients in achieving project success, from planning through construction and operation.
  • Develop new client relationships and expand existing relationships by delivering strategic consulting advice, excellent value, and quality service.
  • Maintain a working knowledge of industry business cycles and prioritize sales efforts toward high-potential, top opportunities.
  • Actively develop commercial strategies to pursue and win new business opportunities that result in significant growth with ERM’s target Energy and/or Power clients.
  • Drive innovation within our core sectors to stay ahead of client needs and to differentiate ERM in the market.
  • Build, grow, and manage a high-performance team, serving as a leader and mentor to consultants.
  • Meet business health & safety standards, financial targets, overall project budgets and schedules, client satisfaction/expectations, and internal risk management and contractual requirements.
  • Become incorporated with ERM’s technical communities (E.G., Biodiversity and Ecosystems Technical Community and Impact Assessment Technical Community), with a focus in protected species policy and compliance.

Requirements
