Jessica Beattie, PG, PMP

Jessica Beattie is an associate geologist and senior project manager who has performed hundreds of envi­ron­men­tal site assessments, site and remedial inves­ti­ga­tions, hazardous materials surveys, and technical reviews of envi­ron­men­tal reports throughout her over-two-decade career at the firm.

Her specialized experience in inves­ti­ga­tion methods, including high-resolution sampling that has been used on multiple projects involving the inves­ti­ga­tion of PFAS cont­a­m­i­na­tion in soil, groundwater, surface water, and sediment. She was involved in pilot testing of the Surface Active Foam Frac­tion­a­tion (SAFF) technology, a technology that has been demon­strated to remove PFAS in aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) impacted ground­wa­ters and landfill leachates.

She has managed large and small field teams, including subcon­trac­tors, and provided technical direction of field activities and review of report deliv­er­ables. Jessica is profes­sion­ally inspired by “working with the talented profes­sion­als at CDM Smith and seeing how each of them truly wants to make a difference, whether it be promoting sustain­abil­ity or trying to make sure people all over the world have access to safe drinking water,” she says.

“I love being able to work on a variety of different projects. Each project has its own challenges and allows me to work with different disciplines within the firm. I find I am constantly learning new things.”
