The head of corporate services for the U.S. Energy Department’s Office of Environmental Management (EM), Paul Bosco, has returned to his old job at the agency.
Bosco, EM associate principal deputy assistant secretary for corporate services for less than a year, has rejoined DOE’s Office of Project Management as director. The move apparently was in the works prior to the May resignation of Assistant Secretary for Environmental Management Anne Marie White, sources suggested last week.
Office of Project Management Deputy Director Michael Peek led the unit in Bosco’s absence.
Leadership at the nuclear cleanup office announced Bosco’s departure in an email memo sent to an Environmental Management mailing list. The memo said another longtime federal manager, Norbert Doyle, is assuming leadership at corporate services on an acting basis. Doyle is EM deputy assistant secretary for acquisition and project management, as well as head of contracting activity at the office.
In recent times Doyle has often acted as lead speaker on DOE contracting opportunities at regional industry gatherings. As head of corporate services, he will oversee business functions ranging from workforce management to information systems for the roughly $7 billion-per-year operation.
“Please join us in thanking Paul for his service and to supporting Norb in his new leadership role,” DOE EM senior adviser William (Ike) White and Todd Shrader, principal deputy assistant secretary for environmental management, said in the email.
A U.S. Navy veteran, Bosco has been with the Energy Department since 2006. He served as director of the Office of Project Management from July 2015 before temporarily joining Environmental Management in October 2018.
Doyle started in the DOE cleanup office in October 2015 as the director for acquisition and contract management before taking the deputy assistant secretary job in July 2016. Before joining the agency, he was chief procurement and logistics officer for the Veterans Health Administration for four years. Doyle retired from the U.S. Army in 2008.
Separately, Darcey Bolin, EM chief of staff under Anne White, resigned from the Energy Department last week after she evidently turned down a position with its Office of Fossil Energy.
Bolin became a senior adviser to White in mid-2018 after serving as a program director since mid-2016 for Jacobs subsidiary CH2M at the West Valley Demonstration Project cleanup project in New York state.
She also worked for the first half of 2016 with the CH2M-led Canadian National Energy Alliance (CNEA) consortium, which ran some government-owned nuclear labs.
From 2014 to 2016, Bolin was a project controls manager for CH2M working on a couple pipeline and port-related projects out of Anchorage, Alaska, according to her LinkedIn profile.
