How to Apply for PFAS and Investigation/Remediation Principal - Flexible US Location

at Ramboll Management Consulting

🏢 About Ramboll Management Consulting

Ramboll Management Consulting uniquely positions itself at the intersection of environmental consulting and sustainable business transformation, specifically driving decarbonization and sustainable models globally. This focus means you'd be working for a firm that integrates deep technical PFAS expertise with forward-looking business strategy, rather than just traditional remediation. The remote US location offers flexibility while contributing to high-impact, global environmental solutions.

About This Role

This Principal role is not just a technical position but a business leadership role focused on growing Ramboll's PFAS site solutions practice through direct business development, client and regulatory relationship management, and thought leadership. You'll impact both environmental outcomes and company growth by identifying PFAS remediation opportunities, managing complex projects, and shaping industry conversations through presentations and webinars.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve morning virtual meetings with regulatory agencies to discuss PFAS site strategies, followed by client calls to develop new business opportunities for investigation projects. The afternoon could include reviewing technical reports from your team, preparing a webinar presentation on emerging PFAS treatment technologies, and mentoring a staff member on career development in scientific consulting.
