Liaison with site construction manager and Licensed Environmental Professional. Collect data required to demonstrate effectiveness of remedial work and gain approval for backfill of site excavations. Document results for client approval. Prepare Remedial Action Report for the EPA and the client.Strong critical thinker and problem solver. Developed surface water, sediment and soil remediation cost allocation strategy. Includes forensic analysis to identify source of polychlorinated biphenols (PCBs), researching neighboring property’s historic use of PCBs, and installing transducers in storm water outflows to evaluate the quality and quantity of water discharged onto the client’s property. The remedial cost allocation strategy was adopted by the client, potentially saving the client millions of dollars and winning AECOM additional business.Skilled technical writer. Published Remedial Action Plans, technical reports, strategic plans, and over half a million dollars worth of proposals and cost estimates, winning AECOM new work and contributing to profitability.Built a strong reputation for producing high caliber work, ahead of schedule and under budget, leading to increased scope of work and responsibility.
