Compliance Project Manager

Pinnacle Environmental Management Support is hiring a Compliance Project Manager to manage delivery of underground storage tank (UST) compliance programs across clients’ retail fueling portfolios. The role plans schedules, coordinates specialists and vendors, manages budgets and deadlines, and reports program status and risks to clients.

Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain multi-site compliance calendars covering annual and triennial line and tank tightness testing, ATG certifications, Stage I/II vapor recovery, cathodic protection, monthly release detection reviews, and 30-day walkthrough inspections. Set milestones and keep every site ahead of its due dates
• Lead the setup of new client portfolios, from gathering site records and registrations to establishing baselines, closing inherited gaps, and getting the program into a steady operating rhythm
• Manage notices of violation, failed tests, and suspected release follow-ups as defined projects with owners, action plans, and deadlines, driving each through to a documented return to compliance inside the state's required window
• Assign and balance work across Pinnacle compliance specialists, dispatch and manage testing and repair contractors, and hold every party to scope, schedule, and closeout documentation
• Manage project budget based on scope of work and resource requirements, including work in process and invoicing. Track billable hours by project against client purchase orders and flag variances before they become overruns
• Coordinate the registration, permitting, financial assurance, and state fund work tied to new-to-industry sites, raze and rebuilds, tank replacements and removals, closures, and ownership transfers, keeping each on track with construction and client timelines
• Serve as a primary point of contact for client compliance contacts. Deliver clear status reports, portfolio dashboards, and risk summaries, and run regular check-ins so clients always know where their program stands
• Track open items, upcoming deadlines, and recurring problem sites. Escalate early, recommend fixes, and keep regulators, insurers, and clients from being surprised
• Strengthen the templates, workflows, and compliance platform practices that make Pinnacle's delivery consistent and scalable as the client base grows

Requirements:

• Three or more years in UST or AST compliance with an owner or operator, an environmental consultancy, or a state program, including time coordinating work across multiple sites
• Demonstrated project management experience: planning schedules, managing deadlines, coordinating vendors or teammates, and seeing work through to documented closeout
• A working command of 40 CFR Part 280 and at least one state UST program
• Confidence working directly with clients, owners, operators, contractors, and regulators, with clear written and verbal communication
• Strong Excel skills, fluency with a compliance platform, and experience using a project management platform
• Availability for the shared on-call rotation
• experience with Monday.com (Pinnacle's project management platform)
• PMP or CAPM certification (or active pursuit)
• a multi-state site portfolio
• experience onboarding or transitioning compliance programs
• existing relationships with state agency staff
• exposure to state UST cleanup programs
• Class A or Class B operator training, or the readiness to complete it
