  ERM

  Jan 2005 - Jan 2007

  Environmental Scientist

  At ERM I was focused on contaminated site assessment and remediation. I was responsible for all facets of contaminated site assessment from desktop phase 1 assessments right through to site validation reporting post remediation activities. I gained extensive construction / remediation site experience during my employment at ERM. I was the onsite environmental manager for large scale remediation projects in Sydney. On these projects I was responsible for the management of remediation contractors engaged to undertake remedial works. I was also responsible for the preparation of a number contaminated site assessment reports including Phase 2 investigations, Remedial Actions Plans and Contaminated Site Validation reports. This has given me an excellent understanding of issues associated with a number of different contaminants on a range of sites. It also gave me the analytical skills necessary to understand specific site issues and develop effective solutions to meet remediation goals. Show less
