Sr. Environmental Engineer

Rockledge, FL; St. Louis, MO

Role Overview 

M2X Energy is seeking a senior Environmental Programs Manager to design and lead environmental permitting, emissions compliance, and internal audit infrastructure. This is a high-impact, cross-functional role that bridges the gap between complex regulatory strategy and practical field execution. 

Reporting to the EHS Lead and working in close alignment with the Director of Regulatory Compliance, you will collaborate with Engineering, Operations, and Safety to ensure our modular deployments maintain total regulatory integrity. Your core focus will be establishing the systems for emissions modeling, permit reporting, and compliant field operations. 

Within your first 12–18 months, you will have implemented a repeatable permitting playbook and digital source of truth that supports a growing fleet of deployments across multiple states 

If you’re excited about decarbonizing hard-to-abate emissions and have a strong foundation in environmental permitting and compliance, we encourage you to apply even if you do not meet every single requirement. In this role, you will have direct influence on how a new class of modular, low carbon fuel systems is deployed and scaled in the field.

 

Key Responsibilities 

  • Design Permitting Program: Lead the end-to-end permitting lifecycle (Air, Water, Waste) across multiple jurisdictions, including drafting and coordinating air permit applications (e.g., Minor/Major Source, Title V) and associated technical documents. Manage day-to-day submissions to ensure timely approvals for mobile deployments. 
  • Audit & Training Systems: Design and execute a company-wide internal audit program including audit schedules, checklists, findings, and corrective actions. Develop and deliver compliance training for field operations teams to ensure regulatory requirements are understood and met on-site.  
  • Data Stewardship: Build and oversee a centralized digital "source of truth" using modern tools (e.g., SharePoint, EHS/compliance software, or similar) for all compliance data, including permit archives, emission logs, and agency correspondence. 
  • Operational Integration: Partner with Engineering and Operations to review process changes and new deployments for permitting and emissions impacts, and feed constraints/conditions back into design and operating envelopes. 
  • Compliance Tracking: Build dashboards or trackers for permit conditions, reporting deadlines (e.g., inventories, deviation reports, annual certifications), and monitoring requirements across all sites. 
  • Stakeholder Liaison: Serve as a point of contact for internal teams, consultants, and regulators (state environmental agencies, EPA regional offices, local authorities). Stay current on evolving regulations and provide strategic updates to the Commercial Development and EHS teams. 

The Ideal Candidate Is: 

  • A Program Builder: You are an experienced environmental professional who doesn't just follow checklists: you create them. You have a proven track record of designing compliance frameworks and internal audit systems from the ground up. 
  • A Technical Expert: You possess a sophisticated understanding of emissions calculations (AP-42/GREET) and can confidently interpret complex regulatory language into actionable business strategy. 
  • An Effective Communicator: You are as comfortable negotiating with regulatory agencies and consultants as you are standing in the field translating technical permits into practical protocols for operations teams. 
  • Adaptable & Mission-Driven: You thrive in the high-growth, "build-as-we-go" environment of a venture-backed startup and are genuinely passionate about decarbonization and the future of low-carbon fuels. 

Required Qualifications 

  • Experience: 5–10 years of practical experience in environmental permitting, emissions compliance, or EH&S within industrial or energy sectors. 
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related physical science, or equivalent high-level professional experience; PE or CHMM a plus but not required. 
  • Technical Knowledge: A strong working knowledge of air permitting frameworks (e.g., Minor/Major Source, Title V) and standard emission estimation methods including hands-on experience preparing or reviewing permit applications and emission inventories. 
  • Operational Track Record: Proven experience maintaining organized compliance records and successfully preparing regulatory submittals. 
  • Field Awareness: Familiarity with field-based EH&S practices, such as SPCC planning or emergency response, is considered a significant plus. 
  • Core Skills: Exceptional organization and follow-through, with the ability to communicate complex requirements clearly to diverse teams. 

Preferred Qualifications  

Experience with: 

  • Mobile or modular industrial operations, landfill gas project development, RNG operations, oil and gas, chemicals, or power generation. 
  • ​​Building or administering digital compliance tools (EHS software, BI dashboards, or similar). 

Work Schedule & Location 

  • Schedule: Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
  • Travel: Up to 25% of the time for site visits and audits. 
  • In-Person in Rockledge, FL; Remote opportunity may also be considered for applicants in the St. Louis, MO area.
    • Relocation support available.

Work Authorization 

  • Must be eligible to work in the United States.

Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
