About Steve Wieringa
With nearly 20 years of experience in Environmental Health and Safety (EHS), hazardous waste and materials management, and regulatory compliance, I bring a proven ability to navigate complex federal, state, and local environmental requirements. My background spans high-risk operational environments where safety, sustainability, and performance must align.Most recently, I led the successful deployment of the first two commercial Supercritical Water Oxidation (SCWO) systems for PFAS destruction, pioneering an innovative approach to one of today’s most urgent environmental challenges. This effort included rapidly scaling operations teams within six months, engineering custom performance metrics to improve system uptime, and leveraging cost-effective, off-the-shelf solutions to drive measurable improvements in efficiency.My leadership philosophy centers on safety, accountability, and continuous improvement. I developed and implemented a structured, data-driven training program that significantly streamlined onboarding processes and elevated team performance to meet rigorous operational and regulatory standards.I’m passionate about advancing sustainable technologies, fostering a culture of operational integrity, and building high-performing teams that deliver results safely, efficiently, and in alignment with a cleaner, more responsible future.
