THIS OPPORTUNITY
WSP USA is initiating a search for an experienced leader to serve as an Air
Force Environmental Program Manager. The position may operate from any mutually
agreed WSP office in the United States. This role is primarily responsible for
the successful management and delivery of environmental programs and contracts
supporting the U.S. Air Force and related Department of War clients.
The Air Force Environmental Program Manager will provide overall program
leadership, contract governance, financial and operational oversight, resource

managers, technical leaders, contract administrators, and the broader Federal
Business Line to promote consistent execution across task orders and geographic
locations.
The position will coordinate closely with WSP Business Line and regional
leaders. Business development responsibilities will be limited and primarily
focused on identifying opportunities to maximize task orders under existing Air
Force environmental contracts, task-order planning, and organic growth
associated with successful program execution and strong client service.

Support contract modifications, requests for equitable adjustment,
performance evaluations, audits, and other contractual or administrative
actions in coordination with contracts and legal personnel.
Maintain strong client relationships through responsive program delivery,
proactive communication, and effective resolution of issues, with the goal of
achieving favorable client feedback and CPARS ratings.
Coordinate with other federal accounts and programs when shared resources,
technical expertise, or integrated delivery approaches are beneficial.
Support recompetes, task-order responses, and client planning by providing
program delivery strategy, staffing plans, past-performance information,
technical input, and lessons learned.
Mentor program and project managers and contribute to succession planning,
staff development, and recruitment for critical program-delivery roles.
