Air Compliance Specialist
Direct Hire
Cameron, LA
About You
You are an experienced Environmental Compliance Specialist with a minimum of 5 years of expertise in air compliance, permitting, and regulatory affairs - particularly within the energy, petrochemical, or heavy industrial sectors. You thrive in fast-paced, high-impact environments and are eager to step into a pivotal subject matter expert (SME) role. You're confident working independently as the sole air compliance resource on-site, but also collaborative enough to engage cross-functionally with operations teams and executive leadership. You're open to relocating to Cameron, Louisiana, and are comfortable working full-time on-site in hot and humid conditions. You bring a proactive mindset, a strong grasp of federal and state air regulations, and can manage rotational on-call responsibilities. A background in Environmental Science or a related field is ideal, though demonstrated experience and technical expertise may be considered in place of a degree.
About the Role
This is a direct hire opportunity based at a plant site in Cameron, Louisiana, where you'll serve as the primary air compliance specialist for a major energy operator. You'll be working closely with VPs of Operations and the broader air compliance team based in Houston. The role is full-time on-site, with expectations of working 50 - 60 hours per week and participating in a rotational on-call schedule - typically one weekend per month. You'll be a key contributor to a highly niche team focused on air permitting, regulatory compliance, and CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage). There's approximately 10% travel to Houston for leadership meetings, and while the position is technically demanding, it comes with strong growth potential within a specialized and expanding department.
