Brian Lipinski, Ph.D., P.G.

VICE PRESIDENT OF GEOSCIENCES

Dr. Lipinski is a Geoscientist and Technical Project Manager with over 20 years of experience in various industries ranging from natural gas exploration to geotechnical engineering to environmental consulting. He is experienced in all aspects of project management, including bid solicitation, executing contracts, developing project execution plans, risk analysis, scheduling, stakeholder management, project monitoring, and tracking deliverables. He is experienced in the geotechnical characterization of energy sites, including wind/solar farms, interstate transmission lines, and natural gas wellpads/pipelines. Over the course of his career, he also implemented and managed complex geophysical projects to aid in the exploration and exploitation of the Marcellus and Utica Shales. Additionally, he was integral in implementing large scale water sourcing projects within the Susquehanna River Basin in support of early unconventional shale well operations.
