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.

We are looking for a Project Manager I - Ecological Restoration Construction to join our growing team. This is an entry-level role ideal for someone with technical know-how and a passion for seeing projects through from concept to completion. You’ll work alongside industry experts and local partners to help deliver ecological construction-focused, regulatory-driven restoration projects that support both ecological and economic goals.

You’ll be based out of one of our regional offices or project hubs, working with multi-disciplinary teams that include scientists, engineers, construction professionals, and subcontractors. Some fieldwork and travel (typically 25–50%) will be required depending on your location and the stage of your projects.

Why You’ll Love This Job

You’ll lead high-impact ecological projects that drive measurable change
You’ll gain autonomy while being backed by a supportive, mission-driven team
You’ll help shape how projects are delivered by applying RES Best Management Practices
You’ll work in a collaborative environment that values problem-solving and innovation
You’ll see your projects evolve from concept to field implementation—and feel the difference you’re making

Day in the Life

As a Project Manager I, you’ll support our in-house construction project delivery from start to finish under the guidance of Senior Project Managers. You will assist with project budgeting, scheduling, material ordering and payment, and tracking key milestones for our construction-related projects to keep everything on time and on target. You’ll work closely with internal teams, subcontractors, and external partners to keep communication clear and tasks aligned.

You'll help maintain project documentation, manage permits, and support compliance efforts while gaining exposure to evaluating and managing project risks, scope, and changes. You'll participate in team meetings, review plans, and contribute to collaborative problem-solving across disciplines. Project management software will be a key part of your daily toolkit, helping you stay organized and connected.

You’ll also get out in the field—visiting project sites to monitor progress, support fieldwork, and see firsthand the impact of your efforts.

We would love to talk to you if you have many of the following:

A Bachelor’s degree in environmental science, engineering, construction management, or related applied field
2+ years of total experience in an applied science or construction field
Comfort with basic budgeting, scheduling, and financial terms relevant to the project
Experience with project scheduling, setting timelines and milestones, and using project management tools (e.g., MS Project, Smartsheet)
Basic understanding of scope management (how project scope is defined and controlled)
Comfort reviewing project plans, maps, and technical specifications
Ability to read and interpret construction project plans, maps, and technical specifications

You will thrive in this position if you:

Are an effective communicator, adapting your style to different audiences.
Are a problem solver, looking for solutions before escalating and adapting when challenges arise.
Know how to manage priorities - without losing sight of the details.
Are effective in conflict resolution, navigating disagreements professionally and diplomatically to keep the team aligned.
Are comfortable delegating while maintaining accountability.
Think big, connecting your day-to-day tasks to larger project goals and company priorities.
Moderate understanding of how to read and interpret construction plans and convey solutions and requirements to the project team.

What Will Make You Stand Out

Experience working on ecological restoration, mitigation focused on the delivery of construction projects
Familiarity with construction project management processes
Experience coordinating subcontractors or vendors in a project setting
Ability to identify problems in the field and suggest solutions independently
