As an environmental engineering firm, BE3 is trusted with a wide range of technical and highly complex projects, from remediation to landfill permitting. Delivering successful outcomes on projects of this scale requires more than technical expertise. It requires structure, organization, and strong leadership through effective project management.
The Role of the Project Manager
Project management provides the direction, regulation, and supervision needed to guide a project from conception to completion. The project manager plays a critical role, overseeing planning, budgeting, scheduling, and coordination at every phase. Just as importantly, they unify diverse teams by fostering collaboration, setting clear goals, and ensuring consistent communication.
A strong project manager:
- Builds functional connections among team members so everyone feels valued and understands their role
- Creates an environment where potential issues can be raised early and addressed effectively
- Provides clear guidance and consistent communication to avoid delays and missteps
These skills not only keep projects on track but also minimize risk, promote safety, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
BE3’s Expertise in Managing Complex Projects
At BE3, our project managers bring both technical expertise and leadership to every assignment. Their ability to balance precision with collaboration allows us to anticipate challenges, reduce risk, and deliver results our clients can trust.
Our team has extensive experience managing task orders and environmental projects in multiple regions, including:
- Hazardous, toxic, and radioactive waste (HTRW) projects
- Radiological remediation involving incidental munitions or hazardous materials
- FUSRAP (Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program) sites
- Landfill permitting, construction, and operation
- Client relations and compliance from contract award through task order closeout
- Multi-year contracts with USACE districts, AFCEC bases and stations, USDOE projects, medical facilities, waste disposal facilities, and state agencies
BE3 has also recently delivered several complex environmental cleanups that were successfully led through strong project management. These include sites enrolled in the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) Brownfield Cleanup Program, such as:
- Pilgrim Village at 1100 Michigan Avenue and 951 Ellicott Street in Buffalo, covering 4.5 acres
- Crossroads at Genesee at 19 Doat Street in Buffalo, covering 2 acres
- 68 Tonawanda Street in Buffalo, covering 1.75 acres
These projects required in-depth environmental investigation, regulatory coordination, and consistent oversight across multiple stakeholders and timelines. BE3’s project management approach ensured that each site was completed efficiently, safely, and in compliance with all applicable regulations.
Building Trust Through Structure
Ultimately, the success of any environmental project depends on more than technical capabilities. It requires trust, consistency, and a commitment to delivering results. At BE3, our approach to project management reflects those values, ensuring that our clients not only receive expert solutions but also peace of mind throughout every phase of their project.
