About Us

At Sierra Piedmont Engineers & Geologists, we believe experience matters. We are a boutique, environmental engineering firm, 30 years in service located just north of Atlanta. Our team includes professionals at every stage of their careers, and we deeply value the knowledge and perspective that come with your decades of experience.

We've built our reputation on technical excellence, trusted client relationships, and a collaborative approach to solving environmental challenges. With a tight-knit team of 15 professionals we specialize in delivering high-quality, tailored environmental solutions to industry leaders across sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, energy, and real estate.

The Role

This position is ideal for a seasoned professional, especially in the mid to later stage of career. You’ll lead projects hands-on, share your knowledge generously, and act as a trusted voice internally and with clients. The ideal candidate will bring not only technical expertise and leadership but calmness under pressure to lead high-impact projects, mentor staff, and help guide our continued success.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and manage environmental consulting and engineering projects, including Phase I/II site assessments, Spill Prevention Control & Countermeasure (SPCC), Storm Water Pollution Prevention (SWPP), regulatory compliance and remediation
• Serve as a key liaison to clients, regulators, and partners
• Manage project timelines, budgets, and team assignments across a diverse client base
• Support strategic account management with our long-term, industry-leading clients
• Provide mentorship and guidance to junior and mid-level staff
• Contribute to business development through proposal writing, client relationships, and helping the firm grow organically
• Help shape strategy and operations as a senior member of a small leadership team — your opinion will be heard

What We’re Looking For

• 20+ years of professional experience in environmental consulting or environmental engineering
• Professional Engineer (PE) or Professional Geologist license in Georgia preferred
• Strong knowledge of federal, state, and local environmental regulations
• Exceptional communication skills — verbal, written, and interpersonal
• A collaborative and mentoring approach to leadership
• Proven ability to manage technically complex projects and client relationships
• Comfortable operating in a boutique, high-performance consulting environment

Why Join Us?

• A leadership role in a specialized firm that works primarily with blue-chip clients
• A company culture that values expertise, integrity, and long-term relationships
• A seat at the table in shaping the future of a respected boutique firm
• Respect for experience — we value professionals who’ve seen a lot and still care deeply about doing the work right

This role is ideal for a seasoned environmental professional who enjoys being deeply involved in the work, thrives in a small, high-trust team, and is ready to bring wisdom and leadership to a firm that values both.
