Certified Industrial Hygienist

Pacific Missile Range Facility - Barking Sands
Kekaha, Kauai, Hawaii

Project Summary

This position supports the Emergency Post-Hurricane Lowell Facility Damage Assessment at PMRF Barking Sands, and several remote sites in Kauai. Operating under a NAVFAC Pacific Command solicitation, the purpose of this immediate-action contract phase is to evaluate damage from Hurricane Lowell with 92 MPH gusts and 17 inches of rain across multiple facilities, and miles of fencing. On-ground assessment duration is short: deployment imminent.

Special conditions include strict federal base access approvals (DBIDS), entirely contractor-furnished logistics (post-storm environment), and air-freighted field operations with no initial barge dependencies.

All logistics and accommodations provided.

US Naval Facilities Specific

• Knowledge of Navy environmental health regulations, NAVFAC safety standards, and federal multi-contaminant remediation guidelines.

Hurricane Assessment Context

• Prior field experience analyzing heavily saturated structures for accelerated mold development, disrupted toxic substrates, and drafting instant safe-entry protocols under emergency timelines.
