Role Overview:

Environmental Clearances (EC)

Key Responsibilities:

Internal Process Perspective:

  • Lead and manage the complete lifecycle of

    new Environmental Clearance (EC) applications

    , from baseline study coordination, TOR (Terms of Reference) acquisition, public hearings (if applicable), to final approvals.
  • Handle timely applications and renewals for

    Consent to Establish (CTE)

    and

    Consent to Operate (CTO)

    from Pollution Control Boards.
  • Ensure

    100% compliance

    with all conditions laid out in EC/CTE/CTO letters, including submission of Half-Yearly Compliance Reports, Environmental Management Plans, and Monitoring Data.
  • Maintain updated records, dashboards, and digital documentation for all project sites as per MoEFCC/SEIAA/CPCB/SPCB norms.
  • Coordinate with environmental consultants, EIA experts, laboratories, and legal advisors to ensure accuracy and adherence to timelines.
  • Facilitate internal audits and prepare the organization for external inspections or regulatory reviews.

Financial Perspective:

  • Optimize approval timelines and documentation efficiency to

    reduce holding cost

    or delay-related penalties in project launches.
  • Negotiate and manage consultant fees, laboratory testing costs, and approval-related expenses within approved budgets.
  • Identify cost-efficient methods of environmental monitoring, mitigation measures, and compliance reporting.
  • Ensure timely approvals to prevent

    project revenue delays

    linked to delayed EC or operating permissions.

Customer/Stakeholder Perspective:

  • Act as the key point of contact for

    regulatory authorities

    (MoEFCC, SEIAA, SPCB, CPCB, EAC, etc.) for all EC-related communications and site visits.
  • Provide regular updates and risk assessments to internal stakeholders—Project, Design, Execution, and Management Teams—on approval timelines and compliance status.
  • Facilitate cross-departmental inputs (layout plans, utility maps, water/wastewater design) required for EC documentation.
  • Support the customer-facing team in addressing buyer/partner queries related to environmental approvals or green building commitments.

People Perspective:

  • Build awareness within internal teams about EC obligations, including Do’s and Don’ts during execution phase.
  • Provide training or onboarding support for junior team members, site engineers, or cross-functional staff involved in compliance.
  • Work closely with in-house legal, design, construction, and MEP teams to build a

    compliance-first culture

    .
  • Represent the company in industry forums, policy feedback discussions, or ESG reporting initiatives related to environmental clearances.

Candidate Profile:

  • Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Environmental Engineering, Environmental Science, Civil Engineering, or a related field.
  • 6–10 years of hands-on experience in handling EC, CTE, CTO processes—preferably in a real estate, infrastructure, or consulting environment.
  • Strong understanding of MoEFCC/SEIAA guidelines, EIA Notification 2006 and its amendments, CPCB/SPCB norms.
  • Experience in dealing with environmental consultants, laboratories, and statutory departments.
  • Excellent project management, documentation, and regulatory communication skills.
  • Working knowledge of ESG, sustainability reporting, and green building norms is an added advantage.
