PS&S has announced that Bob Fischer will join PS&S as a Senior Director as part of their Water Resources team effective February 10, 2020. Fischer brings a wide variety of knowledge and experience in all aspects of wastewater operations and management with a strong background in short and long-term planning, budgeting and execution of major projects.
For the past 17 years Bob served as Executive Director of the Bayshore Regional Sewerage Authority which provides wastewater conveyance and treatment to eight communities in Monmouth County. Bob had overall responsibility for the facility which handles up to 16 million gallons per day of wastewater flow.
“Bob’s knowledge and leadership will be a great addition to our team,” said John Sartor, President & CEO of PS&S. “His experience and reputation as an industry leader will allow us to better serve our public and private clients.”
In 2012, in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy the 24-acre Bayshore Regional Sewerage Authority was left heavily damaged and knocked out of service. Under Fischer’s leadership the plant operation was restored and a $50 million recovery effort to completely rebuild and protect against similar storms ensued. His efforts culminated recently with the last of five major projects coming online.
Fischer is past president of the New Jersey Water Environment Association and current Chairman of NJWEA Long Range Planning Committee. He is currently serving as a director of the NJ Association of Environmental Authorities and in the Water Environmental Federation House of Delegates. He also served as the chairman of the NJ Utility Authority Joint Insurance Fund.
"This is an exciting opportunity for me to contribute to a highly-regarded architectural and engineering firm like PS&S," said Fischer. "I look forward to working with the team to provide clients with the kind of exemplary service they are accustomed to.”
Fischer earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering from New Jersey Institute of Technology and holds a NJDEP issued S-4 Public Wastewater License. He lives in Howell, NJ and will be working out of the PS&S office in Wall, NJ.
