Job Summary
Landrum & Brown (L&B) is seeking a Senior Managing Consultant to serve as a strategic and operational leader within our Aviation Environmental practice.

The Opportunity
This is not a purely technical delivery role. It is a senior leadership position with dual impact:
Operational Leadership: Support practice leadership in resource planning, financial performance, quality assurance, and risk management across aviation environmental projects.
Technical Center of Excellence: Serve as a national authority for airport environmental issues, overseeing and advising on Environmental Impact Statements (EIS), Environmental Assessments (EA), and Categorical Exclusions (CatEx) for major airport capital programs.
You will play a visible role in shaping environmental strategy for airport sponsors, airlines, and federal stakeholders while maintaining hands-on involvement in technically complex and high-profile programs.
Responsibilities & Qualifications
Your Impact:
Strategic & Operational Leadership
Partner with Aviation Practice leadership to drive operational excellence, including forecasting, staffing strategy, margin management, and quality control.
Elevate technical standards and consistency across EIS, EA, and CatEx documentation nationwide.
Lead internal technical reviews and serve as escalation authority for complex environmental risk issues.
Mentor mid-level staff, building bench strength in aviation-focused NEPA delivery.
Technical Authority – Aviation Environmental Due Diligence
Provide senior oversight and direction on airport NEPA and environmental issues:
Environmental Impact Statements (EIS)
Environmental Assessments (EA)
Categorical Exclusions (CatEx)
Part 150 Noise Compatibility Programs
Stand alone noise and air quality analyses specifically for aviation sources
Provide environmental support for airfield expansion, runway extensions, terminal redevelopment, and landside infrastructure projects.
Oversee technical disciplines including air quality conformity, noise analysis (Part 150 and Part 161 familiarity), wetlands, cultural resources, and cumulative impact analysis.
Interface with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), airport authorities, and cooperating agencies on complex regulatory matters.
Client Advisory & Market Leadership
Act as executive-level advisor to airport sponsors and aviation clients.
Support business development efforts, including capture strategy, proposal leadership, and client relationship management.
Represent the firm in industry forums such as Airports Council International (ACI), American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE), and Airport Consultants Council (ACC).
Strengthen our reputation as a trusted environmental advisor across major U.S. aviation hubs.
What We’re Seeking:
10+ years of progressive environmental consulting experience, with a strong concentration in aviation infrastructure.
Demonstrated leadership of complex NEPA documents (EIS, EA, CatEx) for commercial service airports.
Direct experience working with FAA Airport District Offices and regional environmental staff.
Strong command of environmental risk mitigation strategies in large capital improvement programs.
Proven ability to manage multi-disciplinary teams and influence senior stakeholders.
Track record of operational oversight - budget accountability, utilization management, and performance leadership.
Advanced degree in environmental science, planning, engineering, or related field preferred.
Why This Role Stands Out:
National Visibility: Influence environmental programs at many of the largest airports in the United States.
Leadership Without Losing Technical Depth: Maintain hands-on engagement in technically complex work while shaping practice direction.
Platform for Broader Executive Growth: Direct pathway toward broader aviation practice leadership.
Center of Excellence Mandate: Build and refine best-in-class standards for aviation environmental due diligence.
This position is ideal for an environmental leader who has mastered aviation NEPA delivery and is ready to extend their impact - operationally, strategically, and nationally - while continuing to serve as a trusted technical authority.
