ELLIOT MAKER
Regenesis
Northeast Technical Sales Representative
For Elliot Maker, who recently joined REGENESIS as the new Northeast Technical Sales Representative, combining his environmental engineering expertise with his interest in leading-edge bioremediation solutions felt like a great opportunity. He begins, “Initially, I was really drawn in by the array of remediation technologies REGENESIS has to offer. I am looking forward to providing effective remediation treatments and designs to a variety of contaminated sites and working firsthand with our clients.” Prior to starting with REGENESIS in January, Maker served as a Project Engineer for two environmental consulting firms in the Northeast, where he gained a range of valuable field experience and report writing. He continues, “I performed a great deal of environmental sampling and monitoring (groundwater, soil, air), oversaw geotechnical and environmental drilling operations, conducted GPS surveying, developed field drawings, conducted hazardous building material surveys, and provided general construction oversight. It really served as a great foundation for my current role.”
To prepare for a career in environmental remediation, Maker earned his Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering and his Master of Science in Civil/ Environmental Engineering, from the University of Vermont. He shares, “For my master’s project I looked at background concentrations of several per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in Vermont shallow soils. I extracted 66 samples that were then quantified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. The second part of my research was looking at Zero Valent Iron as an in-situ remediation tool for PFAS contamination. ZVI has proven to be effective in the Spotlight 4 degradation of organic contaminants.”
