Air Permitting Specialist
AI Summary
Leads air permitting strategies and prepares permit applications for power generation and industrial projects, ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local environmental regulations while managing agency coordination and project schedules.
About this role
Consolidated Asset Management Services, LLC ("CAMS") is a leading provider of operations and maintenance (O&M) and asset management (AM) services, supported by an in-house, integrated consulting business. CAMS seeks an experienced Air Permitting Specialist to support the permitting and compliance needs of CAMS-managed assets and external clients across the power generation, energy infrastructure, and industrial sectors.
This role provides a unique opportunity to apply advanced expertise in air permitting, emissions analysis, and, where applicable, dispersion modeling while working closely with project development, operations, asset management, engineering, clients, and regulatory agencies. The Air Permitting Specialist will lead permitting strategies and prepare permit applications for new projects, plant modifications, acquisitions, and operational changes, helping projects maintain compliance with federal, state, and local environmental requirements.
In addition to core air permitting responsibilities, the specialist may contribute to multi-media environmental projects and operations-focused assignments based on project needs and individual interests. This flexibility allows the successful candidate to deepen technical expertise in air quality while broadening experience across environmental media and the operational aspects of energy and industrial facilities.
While this position is not a traditional "seller-doer" consulting role with formal sales targets or business development performance metrics, the specialist is expected to provide exceptional technical and client service that fosters strong client relationships and repeat engagement. Individuals who contribute to company growth through client retention, referrals, proposal support, or other business development activities will be recognized and rewarded for those contributions.
Consulting experience in power generation, oil & gas, petrochemical, refining, or other industrial facilities is required.
