About Ambipar
Ambipar is a global leader in environmental solutions, crisis management, emergency response, and industrial services — operating across more than 500 bases in 40 countries and employing over 17,000 professionals worldwide.

In North America, Ambipar delivers an end-to-end platform that unifies field execution, emergency response, advisory services, and compliance under a single integrated organization. That platform encompasses Ambipar's industrial and environmental field services — including hazmat response, industrial cleaning, confined space entry, hydro excavation, automated tank cleaning, environmental remediation, and specialty turnaround support — alongside high-consequence emergency response capabilities. Together, these capabilities give clients a single partner that is equally capable of executing in the field and navigating the regulatory, compliance, and recovery frameworks that surround complex environmental and industrial events.

About Our Southeast / Gulf Coast & South Atlantic Regional Operations
Ambipar has built a purposeful and growing operational presence across the Southeast and South Atlantic corridor — a region that represents one of the most active industrial, maritime, and environmental services markets in the country. With established operations and response bases anchored in Birmingham, Alabama; Mobile, Alabama; Decatur, Alabama; Savannah, Georgia; and Jacksonville, Florida, Ambipar is positioned as a pre-deployed, regionally rooted partner — not a travel-in contractor — for the refineries, petrochemical facilities, advanced manufacturers, ports, terminals, shipyards, and industrial operators that depend on consistent, high-quality field execution and rapid emergency response.
This regional density enables Ambipar to deliver faster mobilization, deeper client relationships, and more reliable service continuity across the industrial corridors of the Gulf Coast, the Southeast manufacturing belt, and the maritime infrastructure of Florida and Georgia's coastal markets. As Ambipar continues to grow its North American footprint, the Southeast and South Atlantic corridor remains a strategic priority — and the Senior Business Development Manager roles being filled are central to that expansion.
