Calgary, Alberta, Canada

● Administered small & mid-sized teams, managed gasoline inventories, monitored gas wells and piezometers, and ensured a contamination-free soil surface and ground water while allowing for sustainable sales,● Managed any leaks and contained any spills or storm water runoff events. Also, maintained positive limiting barriers and sumps and enforced best management practices,● Adapted and enforced due diligence approaches for the protection of human health and environment in compliance with Alberta EPEA and Water Act,● Prepared and submitted HSE stewardships including achievements or lessons learned, projected risks, forecasts and recommendations for future planning, and● Monitored the remediation or reclamation of decommissioned sites in alignment with Alberta EPEA legislation and regulations.

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

● Assisted the soil reclamation and revegetation experiments which involved tree nurseries grown in greenhouses at Smokey Lake, Alberta. The vegetation seedlings were used for revegetation of the restored sections of the boreal forest,● Obtained knowledge on seed germination, propagation and boreal native plant delivery for restoration of the disturbed boreal forest, and● Coordinated a team of graduate and undergraduate students for all field logistics and laboratory techniques.

Calgary, Ab

● Supervised analyses of contaminated soil, water and vegetation samples supplied by agricultural or environmental entrepreneurs. Provided consultancy services for remediation, reclamation, re-vegetation and restoration of contaminated sites at environmentally sensitive ecosystems,● Led and administered of a mid-sized team of technicians for analyzing agricultural and environmental samples, monitored QA and QC and reported into lab information management system. Authored analyses reports and communicated to clients, and● Monitored the reporting of weekly, monthly and yearly stewardships to senior management.

● Partnered with growers and the provincial government to conduct successful farmer field demonstrations of the improved benefit/cost ratio with the use of balanced fertilization,● Developed or supported EHS SOPs related to the fertilizer industry operations and farmer field applications.● Planned, designed, equipped and supervised a soil and water testing laboratory at Multan. Navy Golf Club, Karachi, was remediated, reclaimed and revegetated.

Multan And/Or Dg Khan

● Assessed crop lands for salinity, and planned, executed and monitored the reclamation of affected soils to support desalinization and improve soil health,● Provided consultancy services to industry and growers for achieving land capability or crop productivity potentials, and● Authored monthly and yearly technical reports on soil-crop productivity status, yield performance and forecasted the same for the provincial government.
