We manage our workforce to ensure that our testing and office professionals utilize a teamwork approach while making the success of each project the highest priority. All of our employees place the success of each testing project at the highest priority. This awareness of the “big picture” is conveyed to each employee early in the training process which instills a sense of urgency about doing the “little things” right and taking responsibility for the success of each project.

Air Compliance Testing employs individuals responsible for maintaining the latest Test Method information. Dedicating individuals to this vital area ensures that Air Compliance Testing always utilizes the most current information.

Technical Staff

Quality Assurance

Our Quality Assurance Officer plays an integral role in all training, testing and reporting activities at Air Compliance Testing. We have found the oversight provided by this position to be invaluable to our operation. This function helps ensure that the high level of quality we require in all our operations is maintained consistently.

Project Management

Our Projects Director and each of our Project Managers has experience in emission testing project oversight, project management and staffing, field supervision, Quality Assurance, equipment maintenance and deployment, conducting U.S. EPA and custom testing methodologies, and EPA communications.

In addition to holding advanced science degrees, our Project Management staff has also completed extensive in-house training at Air Compliance Testing, and have received 40 Hour HAZWOPER training.

Operations Management

The Air Compliance Operations Management Staff includes our Testing Manager, Reporting Manager, and Laboratory/Facilities Manager. Each has experience in emission testing field activities, project management, conducting U.S. EPA and custom testing methodologies and Quality Assurance.

In addition to holding advanced science degrees, our Operations Management staff has also completed extensive in-house training at Air Compliance Testing.

Technicians

In addition to those noted above, our Staff includes Laboratory Technicians, CEMS Technicians, Reporting Technicians and Testing Technicians. Each receives on-going, extensive and detailed in-house training in Test Methods.

Our Testing Technicians are thoroughly trained in all methods, rather than specializing in a particular area, to ensure that no testing team is immobilized by the absence of key individuals. By building our testing teams in this manner, we provide greater flexibility in the field and we are prepared for any project regardless of size or complexity. Testing Technicians are educated, talented, dedicated and well trained. This is particularly valuable during an emission test event when interacting with an EPA official at your site. Our staff communicates knowledgeably and professionally. All of our Technicians know the fundamentals behind the test methods as well as the detailed procedures and subtleties necessary to complete a successful test event. Emission testing is a tough profession. Keeping good people in this industry requires a special level of human resource management, including good benefits and good management practices. In an industry that experiences very high turnover, we manage to keep our employees happy, healthy and productive.

Our corporate culture fosters and requires rigorous attention to detail. Attention to detail is ingrained in every aspect of our business from our Technician Training Program to our thorough Test Report writing and checking regime.
