Director of Field Operations

As an industry-leading Environmental Remediation & Demolition Contractor since 1985, EnviroVantage, Inc services projects across the United States and its territories and is recognized as a trusted authority for projects involving proper hazardous materials handling and demolition.

About the role

The Director of Field Operations owns how work gets built in the field. This is a project- and crew-facing leadership role, not an administrative or business management role. The Director is accountable for safe, compliant, productive execution on every active job site, the means and methods, the crews, the equipment, the sequencing, and the field leadership pipeline. Success in this role is measured in the field: zero-harm safety performance, work completed on schedule and within budgeted hours, regulatory compliance on every abatement and demolition scope, and a bench of superintendents and foremen who are getting better every year.
