Company Name: AKRF, Inc.

AKRF provides its environmental engineers with project management experience early in our careers, with the independence to learn on the job and put our own imprint on procedures and solutions.

The safety net of my supervisors was always present, but I was given the time and space to learn, apply, and grow. These days I try to provide our new project managers with the same mix of flexibility and support that helped me develop as a professional and leader.
