Alfredo Uriarte is doing a six-month internship at ÉcoRessources Carbone. He collaborates in the execution of different greenhouse gas (GHG) quantification mandates and actively participates in the development of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project design documents in Latin America.

Alfredo acquired solid experience in wastewater treatment operations while working as a process engineer at a large wastewater treatment facility in the Montreal region for three years. He was responsible for writing the monthly report on operations, monitoring the plant’s performances in compliance with Quebec regulations and he was also in charge of quality control of biosolid production. Prior to that, he participated in the commissioning of a drinking water treatment plant and network in the Dominican Republic for the engineering firm SNC-Lavalin.

He holds a bachelor of engineering in civil engineering from McGill University in Montreal, Canada. He is presently completing a Master’s degree in water, soil and waste treatment and management at AgroParisTech in Paris. During his graduate studies he led a project to quantify GHG emissions from wastewater treatment plants. He is a member of the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec and speaks French, English and Spanish fluently.
