Connie Flohr, a longtime Department of Energy executive who retired from the agency last month after being manager of cleanup at Idaho National Laboratory, has joined contractor Navarro Research & Engineering.
In her role at Oak Ridge, Tenn.,-based Navarro, Flohr will concentrate on partnerships and growing the company’s footprint within DOE, NASA and the Department of Defense, Navarro said in a May 1 press release.
Flohr, spent a quarter-century as a federal official, and DOE announced her departure in January. Flohr’s tenure as Idaho Cleanup Project manager included the April 2023 startup of the Integrated Waste Treatment Unit. She also received a DOE service award prior to her retirement.
Susana Navarro, Navarro’s founder, president and CEO, said in the release that Flohr’s “knowledge of the environmental program, strategic planning experience, strong leadership skills, and innovative problem-solving combine to make her an invaluable asset to the Navarro team.”
Navarro also leads the Hanford Laboratory Management and Integration venture running the 222-S lab at the Hanford Site in Washington state. Navarro is also the cleanup contract at the Nevada National Security Site and a technical assistance contract at the Carlsbad, N.M., field office, according to DOE records.
