Background

About Mitchell Traa

I’m an environmental professional with a background in coordinating contaminated site assessments and managing large-scale geophysical survey programs. My work combines technical accuracy, field execution, and respectful collaboration—especially in partnership with Indigenous communities. In my role, I help plan and coordinate Phase II Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs), soil delineation programs, and remediation activities. That includes organizing field logistics, tracking complex sampling data, and supporting clear, defensible documentation that meets regulatory standards. Alongside this, I’ve managed multi-phase geophysical surveys across broad project areas, ensuring field teams, equipment, and data collection are aligned with technical and client expectations. These projects required detailed scheduling, budget tracking, and regular communication with multidisciplinary teams. I also support Indigenous engagement by acting as a liaison—helping facilitate communication, share project updates, and work collaboratively on field planning and environmental goals. I approach this part of my work with a strong sense of respect, clarity, and consistency. Whether supporting site cleanup, managing technical field programs, or navigating permitting requirements, I bring structure, follow-through, and a practical mindset to every project. Let’s connect if you work in geophysics, environmental consulting, Indigenous relations, or sustainable land management —I’m always open to knowledge sharing and collaboration.
