EPICNetwork.org (Environmental and Public Infrastructure Careers)
Drew Lehman, Principal, Environment and Education (https://www.EPICNetwork.org/). Drew began his career as an EIS/NEPA project officer for wastewater facilities planning with USEPA Region II in NY City. He's managed complex, multi-media environmental pernitting and compliance programs (water, wastewater, stormwater air, solid and hazardous waste) as a senior manager in both the public and private sector for leading solid waste, composting and recycling companies. Projects included work with regulatory agencies in 18 states nationwide. He's taught college-level courses on the environmental profession, presented extensively on permitting and compliance matters, and provided in-service trainings on regulations to environmental field professionals, facility operators and managers.
Our team of environmental and workforce professionals run experiential-learning internship programs nationwide at major environmental and geoscience conferences. Through in-person and virtual tours of operating facilities, we introduce members of underrepresented communities to the wide range of sustainable environmental infrastructure careers. Participants learn first hand about the range of these often-invisible careers and career pathways. Ongoing mentoring supports them as they learn about/acquire skills needed to enter and succeed in this arena.
Since our founding in 2015, Environment & Education has built a nationwide network of engineering, environmental, operations, government, and education professionals who actively work to advance both educational and workforce diversity and inclusiveness. In parallel, we have built strong working relationships with community-based organizations, professional associations and national workforce program leaders who share our belief that there are jobs and careers for all people, at all skill-levels.
The firm is certifed by San Francisco's Contract Monitoring Division for Education and Training, Regulatory Compliance, Employment Development and Environmental Advisory Services. Mr. Lehman holds an M.A. in Environmental Geography from Columbia University.
