Welcome to my new readers from www.getgeologyjobs.com. I periodically update this about once per month, not daily. I try to only post things if I have something worthwhile to say. I have been keeping busy with some independent consulting jobs, there seems to have been an increase in these which may be a sign that environmental firms will be hiring soon, I have seen some that are, but there are still others that are continuing to let people go so it is hard to say for certain when and how sharply an hiring will start. I have done a few Phase I's recently and several others have reported a recent uptick and an increase in turnaround times which indicates they are becoming more of a priority which is a sign of possible growth in the commercial real estate market. I also have been writing a few remedial reports for projects for one of my former co-workers who is overwhelmed with projects from another firm that has a backlog of these reports. This and the Phase I uptick is why I think we may soon see some environmental consulting firms hiring. These reports have been taking a fair amount of time, as this firm unfortunately has poor record keeping and it has been a challenge finding the information needed to complete the reports. Hopefully this experience will emphasize to them the need for good record keeping in the future.
I also recently attended an interesting conference in Raleigh by Regenesis on some of their remedial technologies including chemical oxidation (ISCO) and bio remediation. While it was not anything that I was not familiar with I found it to be a good summary, and was an insightful update on recent developments. I also met a few consultants who expressed an interest in SampleServe my well sampling company that specializes in well sampling with included web based report generation including all table, figures, and graphs for a low fixed price per well. I am off to a Green Energy Fair today, and hope to have another update soon.
