As a multidisciplinary Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) and Environmental Consultant, I specialize in navigating complex environmental challenges, ensuring regulatory compliance, and driving sustainability initiatives. With a strong foundation in program management, biological surveys, and risk assessment, I bring expertise from field operations to data-driven decision-making for clients in diverse industries.In my current role as an EHS Consultant, I design and oversee safety programs, conduct risk assessments, and implement strategies to improve operational sustainability and regulatory adherence. Collaborating with cross-functional teams, I identify hazards, develop mitigation strategies, and foster continuous improvement in safety and environmental performance.Previously, as an Environmental Consultant at ERM, I coordinated a large-scale vegetation management environmental clearance program, leading a team of over 60 professionals. My work included managing thousands of biological surveys monthly and conducting detailed habitat assessments for private landowners, the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). These efforts directly contributed to the protection and sustainable management of vital natural resources.I hold a Master of Science in Botany from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where I conducted groundbreaking research on the symbiosis between Hawaiian endemic orchids and their fungal partners. Supported by the Army Natural Resources Program O'ahu, this research employed stable isotope analysis and symbiotic germination techniques, culminating in a peer-reviewed publication in Molecular Ecology.With expertise in EHS compliance, biological assessments, GIS mapping, molecular ecology, and laboratory techniques, I am committed to developing innovative solutions that address environmental challenges while ensuring health, safety, and sustainability.Core Competencies:EHS Compliance, Risk Assessments, Program Coordination/Management, Biological Surveys, Habitat Assessments, GIS & GPS Mapping, Molecular Ecology, Client Management, Field Safety, Data Analysis, Environmental Policy, and Document Preparation.Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn or reach out at thomaschapin96@gmail.com.
