      • Oversaw internal facility compliance by working across platforms to ensure incoming material such as soil, mixed demo, and concrete met the dynamic state and local chemical and/or physical requirements by law. • Instructed both field supervisors and facility managers to work in tandem in order to collect soil samples from appropriate cell designations to assure that material moving to our facilities met the appropriate state and local standards for New York, New Jersey, and/or Pennsylvania. • Managed projects and worked with clients in order to meet their material import/export needs by classifying their export material, preparing facility applications for various treatment facilities, and drafting facility approval letters for the classified material. • Combined chemical data from lab reports, excavation documents, and site work plans with physical characteristics of soils in order to generate Material Management Plans, which acted as a visualizations for each project's scope of work.
