He will be an integral member of the team, performing site assessments, characterizing site soil/groundwater/sediment/surface water/soil vapor, providing data analysis, and designing and executing remedies to protect potential receptors from possible contamination.

“I’m very excited to begin working for HRP and to start my career in environmental consulting.  Working in environmental consulting will allow me to clean up contaminated sites, revitalize currently unused properties and help improve the community’s health.  Everyone at HRP has been very helpful during my onboarding and initial training.  I could not be happier with my new position.” said Sbarra.
