Our team members go above and beyond, bringing initiative, integrity, and a strong work ethic to every project.

REVIEW AND CONFIRM WITH HIRING MANAGER
We are seeking a Project Manager II to independently lead complex ecological restoration projects across planning, permitting, field execution, and delivery. If you’re experienced in managing multi-disciplinary teams, working with contractors, and driving technical projects with minimal supervision—this is your chance to make a real, tangible impact on the environment.
You’ll work out of one of RES’s regional offices or field hubs, collaborating closely with internal scientists, engineers, construction teams, external stakeholders, and subcontractors. You can expect to travel up to 25–50% of the time, particularly during project kickoffs, field execution phases, and regulatory milestones.

You’ll work independently to resolve project challenges, mitigate risks, and keep stakeholders informed. Using RES’s Best Management Practices (BMPs)—including Opportunity Charters, Risk Registers, and Project Plans—you’ll track performance and drive results.
In the field, you might be coordinating subcontractors, inspecting active sites, or conducting team check-ins.
