Statement of General Experience
I offer 30 years of advanced, high-level environmental project management
experience in the private and regulatory sectors, using knowledge and
experience in the fields of petroleum, physical, and environmental sciences
to evaluate problems and offer solutions to complex environmental concerns
for clients and the regulated public. Project management challenges
included multiple demands, shifting priorities, ambiguity, and change.
Core skills include the organization, planning, performance, management,
and oversight of over one hundred site assessments and dozens of remedial
actions of varying nature and complexity. I am capable of working
independently with minimal supervision, or as a contributing member of a
project team and have extensive experience supervising and mentoring junior
staff. My excellent professional relationships with Clients, co-workers,
drilling, analytical, and a variety of other subcontractors have ensured
success on many projects. My computer skills began with Basic and Fortran
language programming, continued with operating Sperry Univac mainframe and
DEC mini seismic data processing mainframe computers, and has culminated
with mastery of the desktop PC. I am familiar with desktop hardware,
Microsoft Windows Operating Systems (XP, Vista, and 7), Office (1997, XP,
2003, 2007, 2010), Adobe Acrobat, and other software, which I use to work
more efficiently, communicate more effectively, and to be more productive.
