At Padre, experienced senior staff members are active in day-to-day project work. The senior professionals have between 15 and 35 years of applied experience in their field of specialization, and are actively engaged in all aspect of project management. Our senior staff maintain institutional knowledge that is often lost as a result of staff changes within companies and agencies.
As an established firm, we have the flexibility to implement our services to match our clients’ needs. Depending on their preferences, our involvement can range from complete management of complex, multi-disciplinary projects to providing adjunct support services on an as-needed basis. Additionally, our involvement is scalable. Although Padre is a certified small business, we have experience enlisting the services of additional staff, providing specialty services, and can also establish project-specific offices as necessary to accomplish long-term projects.
Padre provides a range of services that can support and or cascade from one another. For example, Padre regularly provides project proponents of coastal and offshore developments with the following cascading suite of services: project development assistance, California Environmental Quality Act compliance documentation, permit application preparation, and environmental monitoring and reporting. Similarly, Padre commonly assists landowners with a chain of geoenvironmental services, starting with Phase I Assessments and progressing all the way to design and oversight of remediation actions. By providing integrated services along each step of a project, Padre provides continuity, efficiency and overall cost savings for our clients.
As a result of ongoing skill-specific training of our staff through professional organizations, academic institutions, and agency-sponsored workshops, our staff is capable of providing exceptional services responsive to our clients’ current needs. Additionally, because our staff receives regular safety training, our field operations are conducted efficiently and safely as incident-free operations.
To foster efficiency and productivity, as well as building trust with our clients, Padre managers and staff are committed to effective communication with our clients.
Padre’s staff have strong, well-developed working relationships with local, regional, state, and federal regulatory agencies. Our reputation for quality performance and knowledge of a continually changing regulatory climate enhances our ability to assist in negotiations on behalf of our clients.
