Dean Carter comes home to Maine to lead Orrington Remediation Project

​

After spending the majority of his career away, Dean Carter has come home to Maine where the 56-year-old engineer was born and raised and graduated from the University of Maine with his degree in civil engineering. Dean returned to assume the role of Construction Manager for the final environmental remediation of the former HoltraChem site. Dean is now the Senior Project Manager at the Site.

​

Dean’s work for CDM Smith, a global engineering and construction company based in Cambridge, MA, began in 2001 when he worked on a landfill reclamation project alongside CDM Smith engineers and ended up joining the company. Over the course of his career, Dean worked in Southern Maine in construction before moving to Georgia where he focused his engineering work on environmental remediation, and finally moved to Florida – far away from the New England winters.

Dean has more than 25 years of experience working on environmental remediation projects all over the country. Dean and his colleagues in Orrington bring a wealth knowledge and more sophisticated techniques to the task of excavating thousands of tons of soil from sites without exposing the air or water to contamination. This extensive experience is very valuable at the Orrington site because they use the same construction techniques, the same health and safety measures and air monitoring that they have developed over many years.
