Environmental Services
Skillings has provided environmental and permitting services to communities and public agencies since 1983. Our Environmental Services Manager and Vice President, Patrick Skillings, develops project alternatives that are supported by the permitting agencies and economically constructible. Patrick’s unique background in both wetland science and civil engineering project management gives him a unique perspective, as he is able to couple his vision of the natural environment with engineering design standards and constructability requirements.
