How to Apply for Environmental Compliance Program Manager

at Encamp

🏢 About Encamp

Encamp uniquely combines environmental compliance technology with global reforestation initiatives, allowing employees to contribute to both business efficiency and ecological restoration. Their tech-forward approach to traditionally manual compliance processes makes them a leader in the environmental tech space. Working here means being part of a mission-driven company that's modernizing how businesses handle environmental regulations.

About This Role

This Environmental Compliance Program Manager role involves translating complex hazardous waste regulations (specifically RCRA) into software functionality by collaborating with customer success and engineering teams. You'll be responsible for ensuring Encamp's application accurately reflects state program rules while creating documentation and fulfilling custom reporting obligations for clients. This position directly impacts how businesses achieve compliance through technology, making environmental management more accessible and efficient.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve reviewing recent state hazardous waste regulation updates, meeting with engineering teams to discuss how to implement these changes in the software, and collaborating with customer success to address specific client reporting needs. You'd likely spend time documenting regulatory workflows, analyzing reporting gaps, and providing feedback to improve the efficiency of Encamp's compliance platform.

🎯 Who Encamp Is Looking For

  • Has 5+ years of hands-on RCRA hazardous waste management experience, not just general environmental compliance
  • Possesses both technical understanding (to work with engineering teams) and regulatory expertise (to interpret state program rules)
  • Is naturally proactive and organized, with experience in fast-paced environments where regulations and software requirements evolve quickly
  • Can bridge communication between technical teams and customers, translating regulatory needs into software solutions

📝 Tips for Applying to Encamp

1

Quantify your RCRA experience with specific examples (e.g., 'Managed RCRA compliance for 50+ facilities' or 'Reduced hazardous waste reporting errors by 30%')

2

Demonstrate your experience with both regulatory interpretation AND software/technology collaboration in your resume

3

Research Encamp's specific software features and mention how your experience aligns with their tech-forward compliance approach

4

Highlight any experience creating documentation for regulatory processes or software applications

5

Show how you've identified process improvements in previous roles, as this is explicitly mentioned in the job description

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your specific RCRA hazardous waste management experience and how it applies to software-based compliance solutions', 'Examples of collaborating between technical and non-technical teams to implement regulatory requirements', "How you've created or improved documentation for complex environmental processes", 'Your approach to staying current with evolving state program rules and translating them into actionable requirements']
