Environmental Project Manager (Engineering)

Tradewater
Environmental Project Manager (Engineering)
Location: Remote, U.S. or Canada
A certified B Corp, Tradewater is on a mission to bend the curve on global warming as quickly as possible, directly combating climate change by identifying, collecting, and mitigating the release of non-CO₂ superpollutants—including old refrigerants, excess halons, and methane. These actions reduce potent greenhouse gases, protect the ozone layer, and generate high-integrity carbon credits that fund and expand our mission worldwide. Our projects also create measurable social and economic value for local communities, creating long-lasting benefits that strengthen economies and improve ecosystems endangering public health.

Targeting superpollutants offers one of the fastest, most cost-effective climate strategies available today. These non-CO₂ gases drivenearly half of all human-caused warming, areexponentially more potent than CO₂, and cannot be removed from the atmosphere once released. Cutting halocarbons and methane delivers bigger and faster climate benefits than CO₂ reductions alone and leading models, from MIT to the IPCC, agree that tackling superpollutants is essential to any credible net-zero pathway.

Since 2012, Tradewater has prevented over 11 million tons of CO₂ equivalent from releasing into the atmosphere and are on path to prevent at least 30 million tons by 2030. We are committed to bending the curve on global warming as quickly as possible and delivering trusted, measurable, scalable climate impact today.

The Opportunity

To support its growth in plugging orphaned oil and gas wells, Tradewater is seeking an Environmental Project Manager (Engineering) to help fight climate change in a tangible and meaningful way. This position is key to the success of our methane work to prevent the emission of harmful greenhouse gases.This role works as a part of a team developing a pipeline of projects to identify and prevent the emission of harmful greenhouse gases.

The Environmental Project Manager (Engineering) position is hands-on, requiring regular work in the field, working with orphaned oil and gas wells. When not in the field managing the finding and quantification of wells, and managing plugging efforts, this role requires collaborating with our pipeline development team, coordinating efforts for trips to the field, data analysis, and providing necessary information for the carbon credit verification process. Strong candidates will have extensive experience in oil and gas, field experience working on wells, as well as familiarity with carbon project development.

This position is largely remote, and is open to candidates anywhere in the continental U.S. or Canada. While it may vary, travel approximately 30-50% of the time is expected, and applicants must live in close proximity to a major airport. Applications for this position will be accepted through Friday, August 7, 2026. Please include as part of your application a cover letter detailing your interest and experience with respect to this role.

Key Responsibilities and Duties:

Project Management & Field Operations
- Play a key role in managing our orphaned oil and gas well plugging efforts, from the identification of wells to the measurement and quantification of methane emissions, and through well plugging projects.

- Plan, lead, and execute emissions quantification field work and related field activities,including overseeing in-field operations of external contractors, monitoring the implementation of safety protocols and regulatory compliance practices, managing on-site decision making, and adapting project approaches in response to environmental conditions and technical challenges.

- Apply project management methodologies to progress projects from field work through verification and crediting via documentation collection and management, coordinating cross-functional teams, maintaining priorities, managing of dependencies, and simultaneous advancing multipl
