Management consulting firm Longenecker & Associates said Monday it has added a longtime executive in nuclear decommissioning and cleanup operations to its Strategic Advisory Board.
John Lehew has worked for over three decades, both in the United States and abroad, “in operations, engineering, management, decommissioning and environmental remediation with demonstrated experience in managing complex projects involving multiple sites, organizations, contractors and regulatory agencies,” according to a Longenecker press release. “Mr. Lehew has extensive experience in major program management, including nuclear facility decommissioning, environmental remediation and construction. Mr. Lehew also has significant experience in nuclear reactor and nuclear facility operations, maintenance, start-up testing, emergency response, and readiness reviews.”
Lehew held several executive positions with CH2M before retiring last year, including senior vice president and global operations director for CH2M’s Environmental and Nuclear Market, president and CEO for the Hanford Site Central Plateau Remediation project, and site project manager/decommissioning project manager for the Dounreay nuclear facility in Scotland. Prior to joining CH2M, he worked in management at TENERA Federal Services LLC and EG&G Rocky Flats LLC.
The 17-member Strategic Advisory Board consists of managers with government and industry experience who can help Longenecker identify and address potential challenges to ensure they do not impact the firm’s mission. Members include former National Nuclear Security Administration Deputy Administrator Donald Cook, Savannah River Nuclear Solutions President and CEO Carol Johnson, and Berkshire Bridge Capital managing partner Robert Lind.
