SCS Engineers welcomes Dave Dirkin, who joins the firm as a Senior Environmental Services Project Manager in the U.S. Southwest region. Mr. Dirkin is a Professional Geologist (PG) in California, Oregon, and Washington and brings over two decades of expertise to SCS.
“Dave is an outstanding addition to SCS Engineers. He strongly benefits our clients with his deep understanding of federal regulatory framework requirements and experience implementing modern remedial technologies that keep projects moving,” says SCS Vice President and Project Director Ashley Hutchens.
Mr. Dirkin has extensive federal regulatory experience and works closely with the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), California Regional Water Quality Control Boards (RWQCB), South Coast Air Quality Management Districts (AQMD), and local authorities, e.g., fire departments and environmental health agencies.
As a PG across the Pacific seaboard, with extensive experience in subsurface characterization of soil, soil vapor, and groundwater, he will support remediation for properties impacted by contaminants such as fuel hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, and heavy metals.
Dave is recognized for his excellent client relationships and communication skills, which are significant to SCS and its clients. At SCS, he will manage projects for commercial, industrial, and federal facilities such as petrochemical refineries, fuel distribution pipelines, terminals, service stations, retail and industrial dry cleaners, and military installations.
His expertise is valuable for municipalities, developers, and banks when due diligence, including complex Phase II investigations and remediation projects, is essential to recycle strategic properties. Well-versed in coordinating and permitting work, including air quality management for Title V permitting, he supports all related stakeholder communication activities, providing more comprehensive environmental services.
