Job Application for General Manager, West at Resource Environmental Solutions LLC

New

At RES, we’re looking for purpose-driven individuals who are passionate about restoration and sustainability, and who want their work to make a lasting environmental impact. Our team members go above and beyond, bringing initiative, integrity, and a strong work ethic to every project. Collaboration is key—we thrive on teamwork, open communication, and diverse perspectives. In a field that constantly changes, we value those who are resilient, adaptable, and resourceful in the face of challenges. If you're intellectually curious, eager to learn, and ready to help restore ecosystems and protect natural resources, you’ll find your place here.

RES is seeking a General Manager to lead the operational, financial, and organizational performance of our West Region. Based in Sacramento, this executive leader will oversee a diverse portfolio of ecological restoration, mitigation, conservation, and related environmental projects across the region.

You will lead execution of the regional operating plan and align people, resources, and priorities so projects are delivered safely, profitably, on schedule, and in accordance with contractual, regulatory, quality, and ecological performance requirements. You will also partner closely with sales and business development leaders to evaluate opportunities, shape practical solutions, convert pipeline, and ensure a strong transition from award to execution.

Why You Will Love This Job

This is an opportunity to lead a geographically dispersed business where commercial judgment and project execution directly support ecological outcomes. You will shape regional priorities, strengthen the leadership bench, improve portfolio performance, and serve as an executive sponsor for projects and client relationships that matter to communities and ecosystems throughout the West.

What Your Day to Day Might Look Like

You will lead delivery of the region's project portfolio across the full lifecycle. You will maintain clear visibility into backlog conversion, schedules, cost, cash, capacity, and material delivery risks, and you will ensure leaders take timely corrective action when performance falls short of plan.

You will serve as a visible safety leader by engaging employees, focusing on prevention, and holding leaders accountable for safe execution in office and project environments.

You will own delivery of the region's financial plan, including revenue, gross profit, cash, EBITDA, project margins, and forecast accuracy. You will set regional priorities and make investment and resource decisions that reflect company strategy, market conditions, delivery capacity, and risk.

You will build and retain a capable regional leadership team and workforce. This includes strengthening manager effectiveness, addressing performance and employee concerns consistently, maintaining succession and development plans for critical roles, and using employee feedback and workforce trends to guide action.

You will serve as an executive operating sponsor for significant projects and client relationships. In partnership with sales and business development leaders, you will contribute to solution development, assess operational feasibility, evaluate opportunities, and support a disciplined handoff from award to execution.

You will ensure projects are managed in accordance with scope, contracts, schedules, permits, quality standards, regulatory commitments, and long-term ecological obligations. You will identify material risks, establish clear accountability, and ensure compliance concerns are escalated and corrected promptly.

You will maintain productive relationships with regulatory agencies, tribal nations, landowners, consultants, subcontractors, community stakeholders, and other partners. You will also work across functions and regions to deploy resources, share capabilities, and apply lessons learned across RES.

We Would Like to Talk to You If You Have Many of the Following

A bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in applied sciences, engineering, construction management, environmental science, business, or a related field.
Ten or more years of progressive experience in complex, project-based delivery.
Five or more years of P&L responsibility and team leadership, including experience leading through managers or front-line leaders.
Portfolio-scale oversight of complex, multi-year projects involving significant schedule, cost, contractual, subcontractor, and execution risk.
Demonstrated success building leadership capability, strengthening accountability, improving team effectiveness, and retaining talent.
Strong financial and operating judgment, including the ability to manage revenue, gross profit, cash, EBITDA, project margins, capacity, and forecasts.
The ability to build trust with clients, employees, regulators, tribal nations, landowners, consultants, subcontractors, and community stakeholders.
Willingness to work from the Sacramento office and travel regularly throughout the West Region, with occasional travel to other RES locations.

What Will Make You Stand Out

An advanced degree or relevant industry credential such as PMP, PE, PG, Professional Wetland Scientist, or Certified Ecological Restoration Practitioner.
Experience leading a multi-state, multi-office, multi-project-site, or similarly dispersed operation.
Experience in mitigation or conservation banking, large-scale ecological restoration, design-build delivery, environmental construction, or long-term stewardship obligations.
Working knowledge of environmental restoration and mitigation and the California and federal regulatory frameworks that affect project feasibility and delivery across the West.

You Will Thrive in This Role If You

Lead visibly on safety, focus on prevention, and hold yourself and others accountable.
Deliver on commitments, communicate transparently, and resolve issues in ways that protect client confidence and RES's reputation.
Build effective teams, invite diverse perspectives, and collaborate across functions and regions.
Address difficult issues directly, maintain high ethical standards, and make sound decisions when the path is not easy.
Stay composed through uncertainty, learn quickly, and adjust course when evidence or conditions change.
Turn priorities into measurable operating, financial, and ecological results.

Working Conditions

This position is based in RES's Sacramento office and is not designated as remote. Work takes place in office, client, agency, and project-site environments. Site visits may involve uneven terrain, active construction areas, changing weather, and other outdoor conditions. Regular travel throughout the West Region and occasional travel to other RES locations are required. Travel and operating responsibilities may require flexibility beyond standard business hours.
