Pursue my career in one of the following fields of work:
• Water treatment (wastewater or potable water),
• Establishment of Management Systems in conformance with ISO 14001 (Environment), OHSAS 18001 (HSE) or ISO 9001 (Quality) Standards.
Management of all Environmental and HSE facets in the construction of a huge highway (1200 km which stretches from Morocco to Tunisia; over $17 billions US).
Coordination with all parties involved (Owners, Contractors, Control and Monitoring firms, governmental bodies).
Environmental auditing based on contractual documents (CCTP, CCAG and Environmental Impact Assessments), international standards and regulations.
Environmental awareness and training.
Establishment strategies for optimizing environmental monitoring.
Preparation of inspection reports, technical studies and technical guides.
Participation to geotechnical engineering/highway design/structural design/hydraulic works/tunnel works studies.
2006 - 2008 Feasibility studies in soil remediation: Hydro-Quebec’s pole yards, Quebec City’s river banks, Hydro-Quebec’s oil deposits, Biological treatment of Esso’s marine terminal, Construction and operation of soil treatment platforms in Cree communities.
Tender documents in soil remediation: Oil and Gas companies (Esso-Ultramar-PetroCanada Gas stations), DCC airport.
Environmental Site Assessments - Phases I and II.
Ex-situ projects: Soil remediation of PWGSC airports.
In-situ projects: Couche-Tard’s groundwater monitoring, Technoparc’s groundwater treatment (City of Montreal).
Others: Preparation of in-situ Database and Guides, Preparation of tax credit dossiers for Scientific Research and Experimental Development.
2001 - 2006 Developed and implemented Bell Canada’s Environmental Management System (EMS) aligned with ISO 14001. In charge of the EMS software development and training, and supervision of employees.
Planned, organized and conducted environmental auditing as per ISO 19011, disseminated results to senior management.
Duty manager (24h/24) for incidents and major environmental events occurring on Bell Canada sites (communication with all parties), including incident reporting.
Completely documented Bell’s EMS (identification of environmental aspects/impacts, updating of applicable regulations, preparation of management programs, etc.).
Analysed “gaps” between operational procedures and enforced laws, and developed action plans.
Integrated Bell’s subsidiaries into the EMS, and conducted research projects with universities.
Building Emergency Coordinator (evacuation exercises, coordination with firefighters, first aid, etc.).
1999 - 2001 Designed, implemented and installed decentralized wastewater treatment processes (leachate from sanitary landfills, domestic sewage) - small and large scales.
Pumped wastewater for pilot tests, sampled reactors.
Prepared experimental protocols & reports. Analysed and interpreted results.
Supervised a team of two technicians.
Published an article in 2001 ("A denitrification process based on a new composite filtering media for onsite wastewater treatment") presented at the "9th National Symposium on Individual and Small Community Sewage Systems."
Master Thesis in collaboration with Premier Tech & BFI (Montreal, Canada), NSERC INDUSTRIAL CHAIR IN SITE REMEDIATION AND MANAGEMENT
1997 - 1999 Designed peat based bioreactors for the nitrification and denitrification of landfill leachates. Determined kinetic and hydrodynamic models, microbial enumeration, etc.
Designed a fictious soil treatment plant: Selection of the site location, environmental characterization and remediation studies, equipments sizing (water / air / soil), permit applications to government bodies, environmental monitoring, etc.
Project in collaboration with Labopharm (Montreal, Canada), NSERC INDUSTRIAL CHAIR IN SITE REMEDIATION AND MANAGEMENT
1997 - 1997 Assessed the use of ContramidMC as an oxygen slow release agent to stimulate biodegradation in contaminated soils: respirometry and mineralization tests.
1996 - 1996 Analysed contaminants in municipal waters by chromatography / mass spectrometry.
1994 - 1994 Characterized superconductors at high critical temperatures.
