We recently met with Brady Turk, a senior scientist out of our new巴吞鲁日（Gonzalez），路易斯安那州地理位置，了解更多关于他的环境咨询的背景和专业知识。

告诉我们一些关于你的背景。
开始，我是一名退伍军人！当我在高中时加入军队，在我的军队班上毕业作为沙漠风暴退伍军人。我是美国军队卫队战斗工程营的一部分。

I became interested in environmental consulting after being a Criminal Investigator for the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ). Working for LDEQ afforded me experience in the regulatory realm, but the interaction with clients and the diversity of projects is what ultimately drew me toenvironmental consulting.

你喜欢在布劳恩Intertec工作是什么？manbet体育滚球
I love the collaboration with other offices. We’re all a team and that starts at the proposal level and goes all the way through completing the project. Everyone is involved and that’s awesome to have. We also have a lot of expertise in so many different fields and have so many resources available.

我从领导者获得的信任程度也是一个巨大的蓬勃发展。我从不进行微观，我爱。团队让我做我需要做的事情，他们知道我会完成工作。

What can you tell us about your expertise in environmental consulting?
My strongest environmental consulting skills are in wetland delineation and wetland permitting. I also am fluent in groundwater/soil sampling and monitoring, but I’ve been really lucky to be able to work all over the board, so I know a little bit about everything.

您最喜欢的项目类型是什么？
我真的很喜欢与私营部门合作，在那里你直接与资助该项目的人一起工作。这是日常的人，所以关系很好。

我也喜欢公共和商业项目。我已经在这些地区已经拥有的很多关系允许我提出项目并获得工作，这是伟大的。

你如何在工作中接近队友的指导？
I’ve had several opportunities to mentor and train junior staff. I have at least ten years of experience mentoring, especially working with junior field biologists. You can’t just throw them to the wolves when things are this technical. My mentality is to work hard and get stuff done, so I expect that from the younger people I work with. I also try to establish a connection between the person and the project. In other words, always take ownership of a project and always remember that you’re the face of the company in many situations.

How does safety play a role in your day-to-day work?
Safety is the priority every day, right away. Even when I’m walking out my front door to my truck, I make sure I know my surroundings. At work it’s the same. If safety isn’t taken into account, I have no problem using my stop work authority. I was fortunate enough to be on safety teams before starting at Braun Intertec and that experience really opened my eyes.

What does it mean to you to be an employee-owner?
加入Braun Intertec的最大福利之一是它是100％员工拥有的公司。manbet体育滚球自从你真正为自己和你的同事们为自己工作而成为一个艰苦的工作者，这是一个很棒的激励。公司中的每个人都有一次每天做得更好的工作 - 从技术人员的水平开始，并一直走向顶部。我们都在一起，一个团队！
