Partner, Diversified Energy, Sustainable Operations

At ERM we are shaping a sustainable future with the world's leading organizations, including with leading Diversified Energy, Sustainable Operations (i.e., Oil and Gas) and Power companies.  We are currently focused on expanding our Sustainable Operations Partner team to further strengthen our organization’s ability to create and implement innovative solutions that translate to clear and measurable business value for our clients. Recognizing that environmental, health, safety, and social performance have become business-critical issues for many enterprises, ERM, as the world’s leading provider of environmental, health, and safety (EHS); risk; and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) consulting services, is helping companies deliver sustainable, safe, and compliant performance throughout all aspects of their operations.

Our Sustainable Operations team provides highly innovative services across the full breadth of EHS advisory areas such as sustainability auditing, information solutions, safety programs, compliance and management systems, training, and corporate reporting.

As part of the continued growth and innovation of our Sustainable Operations team, ERM has an opportunity for an experienced leader to join our global consulting firm as a Consulting Partner and become a true owner and shareholder in a business with sustainability at its heart.

ERM’s Sustainable services focus on supporting development of projects and operation of assets and compliance. This role will focus largely within the oil and gas, and power sectors within the Gulf Coast footprint, and beyond.  Our goal is always the same: assist our clients in achieving project success, from planning through construction and operation, while meeting expectations for assessment and management of impacts on environmental, social, health and cultural resources. By helping clients bring these issues into the project planning process early and driving sustainability across the entire lifecycle, we seek to help our clients meet environmental/social performance objectives, enable savings in capital and operating costs, and avoid significant approval and other delays.

We are looking for an established leader who combines strong business development skills with a solid technical foundation, and a track record of leading high performing teams to sell and deliver world-class services and outcomes. The primary responsibilities for this role will be to: 1) foster, expand and leverage a network of excellent client relationships with a focused set of large Diversified Energy and/or Power industry organizations (consistent with our growth strategy and trajectory), 2) drive the continued growth of ERM’s business through recruiting and developing our next generation of leaders, and 3) further advance our reputation for supporting development of some of the world’s most challenging and complex projects. We will consider strong candidates in our Gulf Coast geography, especially in Houston, New Orleans, Dallas and Austin.
