• Develop cleanup strategies grounded in strong conceptual site models and regulatory insight.
• Oversee feasibility studies, remedial design, pilot testing, and engineering documentation.

Drive Projects Forward

• Lead multidisciplinary teams through site assessment, investigation, remedy selection, construction, and closure.
• Manage project scope, budget, schedule, and quality across multiple complex projects.
• Ensure technical excellence in deliverables including RI/FS reports, CAPs, EDRs, and CARs.

Elevate the Team

• Mentor and coach staff engineers and scientists.
• Support business development initiatives across the firm.
• Foster a culture of safety, quality, and continuous improvement.
