Senior / Principal Environmental Engineer – Remediation Design Leadership (Seattle, WA)

We are partnering with a well-established, employee-owned environmental and engineering consulting firm with a strong Pacific Northwest footprint to support the growth of their environmental engineering leadership team.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role for a Senior or Principal Environmental Engineer who wants autonomy, long-term ownership, and the opportunity to mentor the next generation of remediation professionals.

The Role:

This position is focused on technical delivery first, with gradual business development responsibility over time. You will lead remediation and cleanup projects while helping develop junior engineers into strong design and consulting professionals.

Key Responsibilities:

• Leading remedial design and site cleanup projects (upland and inland)

• Providing technical oversight and mentoring junior engineering staff

• Supporting project management and client delivery

• Acting as a senior technical advisor across remediation programs

• Building and strengthening long-term client relationships

• Supporting controlled business growth over time

This is not a pure sales role. Technical excellence, mentorship, and delivery leadership are core priorities.

What They’re Looking For

• Senior or Principal level Environmental Engineer

• Professional Engineer (PE) License

• 8+ years of environmental consulting experience

• Strong remedial design and cleanup project experience

• Experience mentoring or developing junior technical staff

• Client-facing experience (preferably with manufacturers, legal, industrial, redevelopment or public sector clients)

• Interest in gradually expanding a personal client base (not required to arrive with a fully portable book)

• Willingness to work in-office a few days per week in Seattle

Compensation & Ownership

• Senior Engineer base salary: $150K–$180K

• Principal Engineer base salary: $200K–$250K

• Annual salary reviews

• Employee ownership through ESOP participation

• Long-term wealth-building opportunity through company ownership

Location

• Seattle, WA preferred

• Bellingham considered

• Oregon and Idaho considered for the right profile

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Employee-owned firm with long-term stability

• Collaborative culture focused on growth and development

• Strong project backlog and technical reputation

• Opportunity to shape remediation leadership in a key regional market

• Real autonomy and influence on technical direction
