About Us
Athenica is an award-winning boutique environmental consulting firm located in New York City.
We have a successful track record of completing highly-sensitive and complex projects and providing sound expert advice on regulatory compliance and applied technological solutions. Our experienced team of professionals includes engineers, geologists, environmental scientists, industrial hygienists, certified asbestos specialists, lead paint inspectors and project managers with a wide and diverse depth breadth of experience. Our focus on the New York metropolitan area ensures that our experts will be drawing on their specialized knowledge to provide you with the best solution, customized for your project, no matter how simple or complicated.
Since 1987, we have provided a multi-disciplinary approach to comprehensive industrial hygiene and hazardous material services to both the public and private sectors. During this time, three goals have guided the firm:
• Excellence in client representation,
• Professional integrity,
• Value of our employees
The firm has always provided industrial hygiene services relating to asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and building surfaces coated with lead-based paint (LBP). In our pursuit to better serve our clients, Athenica expanded its services to include Environmental Site Assessments (Phase I and Phase II ESAs), design and oversight of soil and groundwater remediation projects, petroleum underground storage tank (UST) compliance programs, potable drinking water sampling, indoor air quality studies, mold abatement, and air permitting (i.e. Annual Air Quality reporting and Semi-annual New-Source Performance Standard (NSPS) reporting for regulated air emission facilities).
Successful representation of clients in the environmental consulting industry requires an ability to navigate through complex local, state, and federal regulations. Our experienced staff of engineers, environmental scientists, geologists, and industrial hygienists provides technical expertise and significant insight into the myriad of regulations, acquired by years of practical, hands-on experience. Our clients know that they can depend on us to be their advocates and regulators, in turn, know they can count on us to propose solutions that are reasonable and protective of human health and the environment.
Athenica understands that the value of our services depends upon the quality of our staff, which is why we are committed to helping our employees achieve their professional and personal goals. The firm recognizes and rewards the performance of its employees through competitive compensation packages, offering full tuition reimbursement for relevant course work, and encouraging employee attendance at seminars, conferences and workshops.
Our work environment facilitates teamwork and collaboration, and we strive to ensure that each staff member maintains a healthy work-life balance. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer, and are proud to report that our employees come from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds that truly represents the melting pot of New York City.
As a result, one of our Brownfield projects won the prestigious
New York City Brownfield Partnership Sustainable Remediation Award.
