Eduard Chenette currently works as an Environmental Engineer with the Maine CDC, providing technical support and assistance in implementing the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Program.
He holds a Professional Engineer (PE) license in the State of Maine. He is passionate about how to use his knowledge of environmental science and engineering to improve the quality of life and the world around us.
Eduard spent nearly 6 years as an environmental engineer in private sector consulting with companies like WSP, Wood, and Amec Foster Wheeler, handling projects, including Superfund sites, across the United States. In that role, he gained experience developing a range of skills from engineering design, permitting, regulatory support, engineering modeling, HSSE, report writing, cyber security improvements, to project management, budget tracking, cost estimating, and contractor oversight.
In addition to engineering, Eduard is also an adjunct professor at the University of New England. He teaches Physics to students aiming for a career in the sciences and medical fields. He has over 6+ years of post-secondary teaching experience, lecturing in a variety of subjects such as Geology, Environmental Issues, Environmental Engineering, and most recently Physics.
In 2018, Eduard was appointed by the Mayor of Saco to serve on the Saco Conservation Commission. As co-chair of the commission, his leadership focused on preserving Maine’s natural resources for future generations and making local parks and trails accessible to all residents and visitors. In 2020, Eduard was again appointed by the Mayor as a Saco River Corridor Commissioner representing the city of Saco on this quasi-state organization created by the Maine Legislature. The commission regulates land and water uses, protects and conserves the region’s unique and exceptional natural resources, and prevents the detrimental impacts of incompatible development. He also served on the City of Saco Coastal Resiliency Ad Hoc Committee which partners with the US EPA to convene community stakeholder engagement around coastal resiliency for Water Resource Recovery Department.
