Mr. Mark Gilbertson is currently the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Engineering and Technology within the Office of Environmental Management (EM). The objective of this organization is to reduce the technical risk and uncertainty in the Department’s clean-up programs and projects. To reduce those risks, the Program provides technical solutions where none exist, improved solutions that enhance safety and operating efficiency, or alternatives that reduce programmatic risks (costs, schedule, or effectiveness).
Up until 2003, Mr. Gilbertson was the Director of the Office of Basic and Applied Research within the EM Program at the Department of Energy charged with providing the fundamental knowledge necessary to correct problems associated with the cleanup of the nuclear weapons production complex. The program was given a “Hammer” Award by the Vice President’s National Performance Review Team in 1998. In his first five years with the EM Program, Mr. Gilbertson was responsible for the development of policy, requirements, and guidance to ensure that risk analysis theory and processes were integrated into coherent decisionmaking processes in the Department of Energy’s multi-billion dollar environmental cleanup program. From 1988 to 1994, Mr. Gilbertson worked in the Department’s |
Office of Environment, Safety and Health (EH) and was responsible for the integration of EH concerns into Departmental planning processes, and managing and conducting EH’s Progress Assessment and Tiger Team programs. He received a Silver Medal for Meritorious Service in 1991 and was promoted into the Senior Executive Service in May of 1992. Mr. Gilbertson spent four years at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In his last year at EPA, he served as Director of EPA's Hazardous Waste Ground-Water Task Force Investigation Activities, created to investigate the adequacy of ground-water monitoring at facilities that disposed of hazardous waste on land. During his first three years at EPA, he supported the development of Resource Conservation and Recovery Act regulations and technical guidance and training in the areas of corrective action, waste management, and environmental monitoring. He received a Bronze Medal for Commendable Service in 1987. He also spent three years in the private sector with an environmental engineering consulting firm. Mr. Gilbertson received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin in 1981. |
