Experience Highlights
Project Manager/Disposal Coordinator for a soil testing, classification and disposal project at a major pharmaceutical company in Summit, New Jersey. The project involved over 100,000 tons of soil to be managed in all aspects working under strict time sensitive guidelines. Specifically, expedited soil borings, including lab work, was conducted to determine the quality of the soil, which was being excavated as part of a major construction project. Based on the analytical results, the soils were then routed to appropriate end-use facilities, again adhering to strict time sensitive guidelines.
Compliance Specialist for a RCRA-related hazardous materials management effort at a major, private university in New Jersey. Working at each of the University’s campuses, Mr. Gorczyca planned and led the effort to completely inventory all hazardous materials, including Facilities and the Academic departments. He developed a plan that included recommendations to bring the University into compliance with CRTK and HazCom requirements. As part of this effort, Mr. Gorczyca worked closely with University facility staff, researchers, and academic heads to implement the program in a manner that did not disrupt either University business or research activities.
