I worked closely with construction crews to aid in regulatory compliance and minimize environmental impact. This involved monitoring water quality at the numerous bridge sites as well as ensuring that appropriate buffers were maintained around sensitive environmental features. By using knowledge of the water act, public lands act and the APEA, I ensured that all contractors on site stayed within compliance with the relevant environmental regulation.Additionally, I evaluated areas of the… Show more I worked closely with construction crews to aid in regulatory compliance and minimize environmental impact.

By using knowledge of the water act, public lands act and the APEA, I ensured that all contractors on site stayed within compliance with the relevant environmental regulation.Additionally, I evaluated areas of the site that were at risk of erosion and causing sedimentation. I was able to work with the different contractors to identify areas most at risk and implement key erosion and sediment control measures to minimize potential environmental concerns. This was especially important when the site was quickly being temporarily shut down due to unforeseen global events. Show less
