About Icon Global Inc.
Icon Global Inc. is a national, multidisciplinary consulting firm serving the property and casualty insurance sector. Our Environmental Consulting Division provides comprehensive environmental consulting services across insurance-related property claims, with a core emphasis on indoor environmental investigations, hazardous building materials, designated substances, mould, moisture, indoor air quality, remediation protocols, and verification services.
As we continue to expand nationally, we are seeking a Practice Leader – Indoor Environmental Services to oversee and scale this core division, while supporting broader environmental growth across property, casualty, and regulatory-driven consulting environments.
The Opportunity

This role is best suited for a senior environmental professional with deep experience in designated substances, hazardous building materials, asbestos, lead, mould, indoor air quality, moisture-related building impacts, remediation oversight, abatement scope development, and defensible reporting.
The successful candidate will lead a team delivering time-sensitive, KPI-driven consulting services within insurance environments, ensuring regulatory compliance, technical defensibility, high-quality reporting, and strong insurer relationships. Experience with spill response, site contamination, Phase I/II ESA work, or broader environmental due diligence is considered an asset, but the primary mandate of this role is indoor environmental leadership and practice growth.

This role carries direct accountability for divisional revenue performance, margin optimization, team development, operational scalability, technical standards, and market positioning. The successful candidate will play a central role in defining growth targets, service standards, QA/QC systems, and long-term divisional strategy.
