MOAB, Utah - Matt Udovitsch is the quality assurance (QA) and environmental compliance manager for S&K Logistics Services, a tribally owned small business and technical assistance contractor (TAC) to EM’s Moab Project.
Udovitsch currently oversees work by the remedial action contractor responsible for relocating the uranium mill tailings at the Moab site to the disposal cell near Crescent Junction, Utah.
Continually looking for opportunities to increase his knowledge and skills, Udovitsch passed the qualification exam to become a certified hazardous materials manager in 2015. In December 2015, he passed the auditor exam and completed the requirements to become a certified quality auditor under the American Society for Quality. EM recognized Udovitsch with a certificate of appreciation in July 2016 for his effective integration and coordination among contractor and EM personnel at all levels.
In March 2016, S&K promoted Udovitsch to quality assurance manager. Last fall, S&K assumed much of the project’s environmental compliance scope for the project, especially in regards to inspections and permits. Udovitsch added many of those responsibilities to his workload. He was again promoted, and his title now includes environmental compliance.
“Matt is enthusiastic about helping the project improve its processes and ensure quality is infused in everything we do," S&K Senior Program Manager Joe Ritchey said.
“It is very rewarding to be part of a project that is having such a positive impact on the environment and local community," Udovitsch said.
When not working, Udovitsch enjoys rock climbing, trail running and taking his dogs on long walks. He and his wife live in Grand Junction, Colorado.
