OBJECTIVE:
Seeking a position as a full-time mid- or senior-level project manager, proposal writer or team leader. Relocation acceptable, depending on the position and moving assistance.
Professional Experience:
An environmental engineer with over 13 years of experience in multi-disciplinary environmental projects, research and teaching related to water and wastewater treatment. Qualifications include:
• Coordination of project efforts and deliverables for water treatment utilities with the lead regulatory contact at the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, with various engineering firms serving as the city engineers, and with the operators at each of the utilities
• Presentation of project progress at several section meetings for the Missouri Water and Wastewater Conferences and mentoring of both undergraduate and graduate students to present at regional meetings and at the Water Technology Conference (in 2009 and 2012) sponsored by the American Water Works Association
• Expert in reactor design, in sampling, analysis, and modeling of wastewater quality, in biological remediation of recalcitrant compounds, in appropriate treatment of drinking water to reduce the occurrence of disinfection byproducts, and in monitoring of post-construction storm water best management practices (BMPs)
• Expert with various treatment facility layouts and operation from conventional surface water treatment to membrane technologies used for both water and wastewater treatment
• Management of a team of 10 researchers responsible for both general investigation of appropriate water treatment options and specific service to small community drinking water systems struggling to better understand the chemistry of their process so that they could develop a sustainable approach to compliance
Selected Consulting/Research Reports:
Project Leader – Disinfection By-Product Technical Assistance (reports on water quality analysis, disinfection by-product (DBP) concentrations in the distribution system, and DBP formation potential under several conditions submitted to each city to help with their compliance efforts)
• (February 2011; multiple reports) “Analysis of Water Quality for Disinfection By-Products (DBPs) and Evaluation of the DBP Formation Potential under Various Treatment Strategies” for the Missouri cities of Marceline, Monroe, and Trenton
• (July 2009) “Disinfection By-Products Analysis for the City of Columbia, MO,” City of Columbia, Project 00021075
Project Leader – MS4 Impact Analysis (creation of a “Monitor and Response Decision Tool” for the Missouri Department of Transportation to include in their Storm Water Management Plan)
• (February 2010) “Development of the Framework for a Water Quality Monitoring System: Controlling MoDOT’s Contribution to 303(d) listed streams in the State of Missouri,” Organizational Results Research Report OR10.017, Missouri Department of Transportation (http://library.modot.mo.gov/RDT/reports/Ri08031/or10017.pdf)
Project Leader – Re-rating Project Water Quality Testing (report on stress test water quality analysis and hydraulic profile measurements submitted to CDM)
• (Summer 2004) Sub-contract of Camp, Dresser, and McKee (CDM) for the “Re-rating of the Dos Rios Wastewater Treatment Facility for the San Antonio Water System” Project
Selected Projects:
1. “Missouri Technical Assistance Center,” ($543,000 funded by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the MU Water Resources Research Center; 09/01/2009-08/31/2011); Supervised 10 researchers doing water sample collection and analysis to determine strategies for enhancing treatment process performance for small drinking water systems, chemical data used to develop approach to sustainable compliance; partnered with 7 communities throughout the State of Missouri to improve the quality of community drinking water; 3 projects on-going; 4 projects completed with 3 of 4 now in compliance and 4th is completing process modifications to get into regulatory compliance
2. “Improving Drinking Water Quality for Small Rural Communities in Missouri (EPA-G2011_STAR-G1),” ($500,000 funded by the Environmental Protection Agency’s Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Program, 01/01/2012-12/31/2014), proposed study focuses on technology development for small community drinking water treatment systems that will help them address water quality concerns, primarily disinfection by-products with an emphasis on enhanced solids contact and activated carbon baffle walls, partnership with researchers at Lincoln Univeristy (LU) and Missouri University of Science and Technology (MST) and with operators at 3 communities that will pilot the technology developed; 6 person team
3. “Storm water Best Management Practices Monitoring Project,” ($213,000 funded by the Missouri D...
