Jared Levine
Office:
Practice Area:
EHS Auditing and Compliance & Environmental Remedation
Areas of Expertise:
While I believe it will be another ten years before I personally consider myself an expert in any one topic, I believe that I am knowledgeable in and excel at: packer testing, overburden and bedrock characterization and evaluation, risk management plans, TIER II evaluations, petroleum and chemical site remediation, air permitting/air emissions statements, toxicology, chemistry, biology, and more.
About Me in 140 characters (or more!):
I attended Rutgers University as an environmental science major with a focus in chemistry and microbiology and am still a very active member of the alumni community. I have always been strongly drawn to the sciences and nature, which has helped shape not only my career path but my personal life as well. My wife shares my love for science and nature and works as a veterinarian, saving animals every day. We live in northeast Pennsylvania where we enjoy all the advantages of living in the Poconos such as hiking, kayaking, skiing, and other various outdoor activities.
Favorite Thing about Being an EHS Auditing and Compliance Practitioner:
One of my favorite things about being a practitioner is the wide variety of applications and solutions in the practice. I believe that it is a complex practice with many learning opportunities for me still to come.
Favorite Thing about Being a Remediation Practitioner:
One of my favorite things about being an ELM practitioner is that it is so often an intersection of chemistry, biology, and toxicology (all fields that I am rather enamored with). Each site is unique in background and the best solution needed to remediate its varied contamination.
What is the most interesting compliance project you’ve ever worked on?
One of the most interesting projects that I have ever worked on was to conduct research and provide advice on the needs of independent and university research laboratories, to evaluate their compliance and health and safety needs in order to assist in the development of a tailored compliance management tool.
What is the most interesting remediation project you’ve ever worked on?
One of the most interesting and challenging projects that I have ever worked on stands out for its fascinating/ challenging geology (near a fault line), and the sheer variety of the scope of work that has been completed out there: packer testing, step-down pump testing, overburden drilling and evaluation, bedrock drilling and evaluation, wetland delineation and ecological characterization, river and wetlands sampling, advanced geological evaluation and more. As one of the more complex sites that I have worked on, it has provided me a number of excellent learning opportunities.
What’s your favorite part of your job?
My favorite part of my job is the sheer variety of practices and segments that Antea Group has to offer and the variety of industries and clients that we serve. This diversity keeps the work highly entertaining, engaging and intellectually stimulating.
What was your first job?
My first job back when I was in high school was making pizzas. (My favorite creation - substitute fig jam for pizza sauce, top with fresh figs, scallions, prosciutto, balsamic glaze, and gorgonzola. Strange yet delicious.)
If you had one month off, where would you go or what would you do?
If I had one month off I would go island hopping in the Caribbean with my wife.
Is there something unique that people might not know about you? (hobbies, hidden talents, etc.)
I own five rescue pets-- three cats: Lily, Seely, and Milozart (my wife and I argued over whether his name should be Milo or Mozart and we split the difference) and two dogs: Boldt (lab mix) and Finn (Great Dane/lab mix, who is a horse-dog at 120lbs).
