Background

About Charles Jager

Driven by a lifelong passion for sustainability, I bring a multidisciplinary foundation in environmental science, engineering, and design. I hold a B.A. in Sustainability from San Diego State University and a Permaculture Design certification from Santa Barbara City College, supplemented by engineering and CAD coursework. My professional experience spans quality assurance, environmental consulting, and laboratory compliance, most recently serving as a Quality Officer at Eurofins Environmental Testing Southeast in Savannah, GA, and previously as a Quality Assurance Officer at Eurofins Central Analytical Laboratories in New Orleans. In these roles, I ensured ISO 17025:2017 compliance, led audits, validated data, and facilitated client communications—underpinned by working knowledge of DoD/DoE QSM v6.0 requirements. My broader expertise includes agroecology, biostatistics, and sustainable systems design, enriched by hands-on experience in sailing instruction and urban homesteading. I am especially passionate about circular economies, environmental law, sustainable infrastructure, and regenerative resource management—continually seeking ways to integrate these values into practical, impactful solutions.
