  Associate Hydrogeologist

  As an associate hydrogeologist, I supervised drilling, installation, and development of groundwater monitoring wells for federal CERCLA and RCRA superfund projects. I produced borehole and well development parameter logs; wrote daily reports, including deviations from the work plan and health and safety hazard assessments; and conducted routine sampling of groundwater monitoring wells as part of ongoing site investigations.

  Assistant Project Manager

  As an assistant project manager and environmental scientist, I was involved in numerous ongoing industrial groundwater monitoring projects. I completed several industrial and residential remediation projects, which required the removal of leaking underground storage tanks. I was successful in bringing those sites into regulatory compliance within planned budgets. I supervised groundwater well drilling, installation, and development; collected soil and groundwater samples to track contamination migration; and performed Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessments. Other responsibilities included providing assistance with workflow, scheduling and reporting of fieldwork procedures, and writing technical reports of our findings. I was also responsible for the operation of a Geoprobe direct push sampling drill. Show less
