Job Description
Company Description
PPM Consultants, Inc. is an environmental and engineering consulting firm providing services to petroleum marketing, manufacturing, commercial, and energy sectors, as well as local, state and federal government. We specialize in providing soil and groundwater assessment and remediation; a full range of air, water, and waste compliance consulting; due diligence; brownfield redevelopment; and other related environmental services. Founded in 1994, PPM now operates seven offices in the Southeast and is consistently listed on the ENR 200 list of largest environmental consulting firms in the country.
Position Description
The Environmental Compliance position at PPM provides the aspiring professional an incredible opportunity for long-term career success and advancement. This position is located in Jackson, MS, but the possibility for remote work in the state of Mississippi is a possibility. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with a large team of environmental compliance professionals conducting work for client facilities across our gulf south footprint and beyond. The model employed by PPM's compliance services is collaborative in nature, including a brief weekly meeting connecting all offices to ensure our compliance knowledge is very deep and not limited to the knowledge base of those in the office of primary assignment. This also brings opportunity to move to another PPM office if a geography change is desired or if family/personal situations precipitate the need. The position allows for a significant amount of flexibility, including work at home options. By the same token, PPM takes pride in its office locations to create a professional, relaxed environment where real relationships and collaboration can be fostered. It is our opinion that this balance of flexibility and work environment creates an environment where we can best serve our clients
General Responsibilities
- Ensure technical quality of all client deliverables
- Develop and maintain client and regulatory agency relationships
- Market PPM services and work to identify and develop project opportunities

- Attend client and industry conferences and trade shows, with willingness to present on subject matter expertise
- Exhibit strong leadership and decision-making skills
- Provide input on ways to improve the firm
- Some occasional travel may be required
General Qualifications and Traits
- BS or MS in civil or environmental engineering, environmental science or geology
- Around 10-12 years' experience in the environmental industry (specifically compliance) is ideal; however, years of experience will not be the main determining factor
- Ability to effectively communicate directly with clients and regulatory agencies
- Enthusiasm for (and experience in) marketing clients and developing business
- Ability to suggest areas for improvement with internal processes along with possible solutions
- Honesty and integrity in all business areas
- Entrepreneurial spirit and motivation to advance career
- Managing and implementing all aspects of environmental compliance for various industrial clients
- Perform regulatory and technical research to develop client-specific compliance strategies
- Prepare and submit required compliance reports to regulatory agencies in multiple states
- Perform environmental calculations using appropriate methodologies

- Positive, helpful and engaging attitude
- Must be authorized to work in the United States
