She has supported site investigation and remediation projects for federal, industrial, and private clients globally, including permitting and compliance, site investigation, pilot studies, remediation, and litigation support. Ms. Caird has coordinated teams of technical leaders and collaborated with industry experts and academic partners on emerging contaminants, bioremediation, and remedial technologies, to develop innovative approaches for site characterization and remediation. Her research support has included the development and use of tools in the R programming language to refine PFAS conceptual site models, as well as metagenomics research and application, focusing on Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to improve and optimize bioremediation and monitored natural attenuation projects.
Ms. Caird has supported remediation design efforts, including the use of Earth Volumetric Studio (EVS) software to create 3D conceptual site models to refine and optimize the zones targeted for remediation. She has led numerous field investigations and site remediation efforts for volatile compounds, metals, explosives, and emerging contaminants 1,4-dioxane and PFAS and has overseen the construction and implementation of numerous pilot studies for the treatment of traditional contaminants, as well as 1,4-dioxane and PFAS in the United States and Australia. She has supported PFAS characterization and fate and transport evaluations in North America, Australia, and Europe
