Our Team

Only The Best Will Do

Our Team is the best in the business. Experts in their chosen fields, they’re eager to test the limits of their abilities, challenge themselves to solve difficult problems and dramatically raise the bar for delivering remediation, heavy civil construction, decommissioning, reclamation, marine construction, and habitat restoration services.

What are some of the qualities the Milestone Environmental Contracting team exudes?

Ingenuity

We love creative, talented people who think differently. We think outside the box to give us the edge over our competition.

Ambition

People who describe themselves as “staid” and “comfortable” don’t fit in well with us. People who aim for the top do.

Diligence

We’re not building widgets. We’re mitigating complex environmental problems. The process we take to tackle these problems matters almost as much as the finished product.

Insightfulness

Our people have a deep understanding of the science behind remediation, and are always willing to explore new ideas.

Cooperativeness

We love people who ask questions, share ideas and draw on the expertise of their peers to dream up new solutions.

Caring

They care about meeting our clients’ needs. They care about protecting the environment. They care about one another. We treat each other like family and we love to have fun.
