PHM recruits the environmental engineers and scientists who keep projects compliant and land usable — contaminated sites and remediation, water and wastewater, air quality, permitting and impact assessment, and sustainability. Specialist search across consulting, industry, and the public sector, on an exclusive, fee-on-hire basis.
Every Ontario facility holding an air approval has to move onto the province’s self-registration system by the end of January 2027, and the reports behind each one have to be signed by a licensed engineering practitioner. Thousands of sites, one deadline, and a signature only some of your people can give. There is no shortage of environmental consultants; there is a shortage of the ones who can put their name on the file.
Every week a senior environmental seat is open, approvals queue behind it — and a delayed approval moves a client’s construction date, not just your schedule.
Our environmental engineering recruiters know which submissions need a seal and which do not, and assess people against the files they actually closed rather than the ones they worked on.
Genuine depth across the environmental engineering disciplines — we understand the roles and the work they answer for, not just the titles. A sample of the work and the projects we recruit for:
Recruiting for municipal servicing, stormwater or water infrastructure design? That work sits with our civil engineering team.
Levels from EITs, scientists, and intermediate engineers through senior and principal environmental engineers, discipline leads, project managers, and directors.
Retained-level rigour, on an exclusive basis, for a fee paid on the hire — no upfront retainer and the delivery risk on us. We also work standard contingency where a role suits it. How we engage →
Because we don’t run volume, an exclusive environmental mandate gets our full bandwidth — and we’re driven to deliver in less time than industry norms.
Assessment, remediation, water, air, and permitting for environmental and multidisciplinary consulting practices.
Compliance, remediation, and sustainability inside industrial, mining, and energy operations.
Permitting, impact assessment, and approvals that keep infrastructure and development moving.
The specialties and levels are listed above. We recruit them for consultancies, owners, contractors and industrial employers across Canada and the USA.
Yes. Alongside environmental engineers, we place environmental scientists, hydrogeologists, and permitting and compliance specialists across consulting, industry, and the public sector.
Exclusive contingency. You get the reach and rigour of a retained search, invoiced only when you hire — so an unsuccessful search costs us, not you.
Yes. We provide real-time compensation insight for the specific role, region, and seniority you’re hiring for — so an offer is competitive without overpaying.
Across Canada and the United States. We’re headquartered in London, Ontario, Canada and work on-site where it counts and remote-fluent by design.
Often not. Many of the strongest environmental roles are filled discreetly, through direct search — the roles no job board carries, because they are gone before one would.
An advisory conversation about the environmental hire ahead of you — and where the right person is likely to come from. Not a commitment.
