- Facility and development environmental services (brownfield redevelopment, regulatory compliance, stormwater)
- Natural resource and wetlands delineation, permitting & mitigation
- Indoor air quality, mold/asbestos/lead assessments & abatement oversight

- Preparing technical reports, design recommendations, and engineering drawings aligned with regulatory permitting and redevelopment efforts.
- Collaborating with the environmental consulting team (wetlands delineation, phase I/II ESAs, permitting specialists) and integrating geotechnical input into overall project solutions.
- Oversee subcontractors, drilling crews, and field technicians to ensure quality and safety.
- Providing technical mentorship and guidance to junior engineers and field staff, helping build our geotechnical service line within the firm.
Leadership & Department Development Responsibilities
- Partner with ASE leadership to establish processes, procedures, and best practices for the new Geotechnical Department.
- Assist in developing standard operating procedures (SOPs) for fieldwork, data management, analysis, and reporting.
- Help define equipment, staffing, and training needs for geotechnical operations.
- Contribute to the creation of QA/QC systems and client service standards.
- Support business development and proposal writing for geotechnical projects.
- Mentor junior engineers and technicians as the department grows.
