Background

About Charles M. Chan

I am a mission-driven environmental professional with over 19 years of experience in environmental restoration, remediation, compliance, and industrial hygiene. As an Environmental Senior Account Manager with SGS, I help organizations across Pennsylvania and the Mid-Atlantic, including consulting firms, government agencies, remediation contractors, and industrial clients, access advanced analytical services, navigate evolving PFAS regulations, and solve complex challenges within the analytical testing environment. I listen to client needs and connect them with SGS’s vast network of subject matter experts to provide tailored solutions and ensure defensible data and regulatory compliance. I am an adroit communicator who translates complex technical information into actionable guidance for clients. My background includes supporting the U.S. Department of Defense and the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) on environmental restoration and compliance programs addressing PFAS and emerging contaminants. I’ve also collaborated with the U.S. EPA and state regulatory agencies, gaining a strong understanding of compliance, permitting, and data quality requirements across federal and state programs. This combination of field, technical, and regulatory experience allows me to anticipate and solve complex sampling and analytical challenges and ensure laboratory data meets rigorous quality standards. SGS is the world’s leading testing, inspection, and certification company, recognized globally for sustainability, quality, and integrity, with more than 99,500 employees and 2,500 offices and laboratories worldwide.
