MCC Welcomes Environmental Specialist Daniel Ouellet
I
N JUST HIS FIRST FEW MONTHS at Mitsubishi Cement Corporation, Environmental Specialist Daniel Ouellet felt as though he’d learned more than he had in the last two years, which is exactly what he loves about the job. “What I enjoy the most is basically the learning,” Ouellet, who started at MCC last September, said. “It’s 50-50; an office job and hands-on technical work … I enjoy having that spectrum of experience.” The wide spectrum of experience Ouellet brought to MCC made him a great fit, as environmental specialists must monitor many things at once, from air pollution to ground pollution. He majored in instrumentation and controls at Northern Maine Technical College and went on to work in a variety of jobs, from engineering and construction contract work to monitoring GPS systems for the International Boundary Commission. At MCC, he’s in charge of the Continuous
Emission Monitoring System (CEMS), along with handling coding enforcement and reporting data to local and federal agencies, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). “If you notice something out of the ordinary, you want to find what changed,” Ouellet explained. “For example, if I see a lot of debris in the air — smoke, dust or emissions — that would motivate me to inspect the issue, assess it, address it, and minimize any excess.” Ouellet said he’s excited to learn more about environmental testing and reporting in California, which is especially “particular” in its environmental regulations. “There’s a lot more to learn as far as coding and what we’re required to submit,” he said. He looks forward to more training sessions, such as air quality, soil testing and rain water courses, which can add to his growing body of knowledge. OF THE DESERT PULSE HIGH
“We have a great team here. It’s a very positive work environment,” Ouellet said. “I’m really grateful that Mitsubishi gave me this opportunity, and I’m proud to be here.”
