Develop funding strategies that leverage public and private investment.

Community & Stakeholder Engagement

Engage residents, neighborhood organizations, elected officials, and community leaders throughout the process.
Communicate complex environmental and redevelopment issues in a clear, accessible manner.
Build trust through transparency, collaboration, and responsiveness.

Organizational Development

Establish systems for tracking project outcomes and organizational performance.
Prepare reports and presentations for the CEO, Board, funding agencies, and partners.
Represent LDE at conferences, public meetings, and industry events.
Promote LDE’s mission and regional impact.

Education and Qualifications

Minimum bachelor’s degree in environmental science, environmental management, civil or environmental engineering, or a closely related field. A master's degree and relevant professional certifications are preferred. Minimum of 10 years of leadership experience in brownfield reclamation and redevelopment, environmental consulting, or a related field.
Demonstrated experience managing complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives.
Experience working with EPA Brownfields Programs and state environmental agencies.
Knowledge of environmental assessment and remediation practices
