Ms. Jones is a civil engineer focused on managing large-scale site characterization and remediation programs in compliance with federal, state, and local regulatory guidelines. Her areas of expertise include soil and groundwater remediation, water resources evaluations, data management, evaluation of geospatial information, and project management. Ms. Jones manages prime contracts for complex projects ranging from $50,000 to $6.2 million for county, state, and federal regulatory agencies, as well as private clients. Her responsibilities include planning and scheduling data collection, reporting, cost estimating and budget management, and ensuring quality control. She provides leadership for multi-disciplinary project teams with up to 20 subcontractors, including compliance with the state Hazardous Waste Corrective Action Unit and federal regulations.

Ms. Jones guides all aspects of her projects, from the proposal stage – including development of the technical approach and scope of work, schedule, and fee estimates – through project kick-off, task and milestone completion, and final close-out. Her field-related experience includes implementation of comprehensive drilling programs; remedial actions comprising large-scale soil excavations and soil/groundwater treatment programs; land surveying; construction management; quality control oversight; and groundwater/surface water quality, soil, soil-gas, and indoor air sampling. Ms. Jones has designed and implemented relational databases for stand-alone, extensive environmental data repositories; and in support of contaminant transport models, stream/aquifer-interaction models, and groundwater quality assessments.
