We are partnering with a values‑driven organization seeking an Environmental Manager to oversee operational performance and regulatory compliance across two nearby sites.

Qualifications
Five to ten years of wastewater treatment operations experience
Strong working knowledge of treatment processes and environmental regulations
Experience in food manufacturing or industrial environments preferred

Organized, detail‑oriented, and practical in approach
