Director of Environmental Engineering
Shannon McKibben is the director of Environmental Engineering at Halker, executing environmental, health, and safety projects for clients in construction, oil & gas, transportation, and power delivery. Under Shannon’s leadership, Halker’s Environmental Engineering group is actively diversifying from its historical role serving primarily road and highway construction clients into a support group for all of Halker’s projects, focusing on energy delivery and development.
With 13 years of experience in environmental, health, and safety work in the oil and gas industry, both as a consultant and working directly for operators, Shannon brings her diverse experience and technical approach to Halker and its clients. Shannon has worked on air permitting and compliance projects her whole career and as a consultant has managed air quality permitting, compliance, and monitoring projects for oil and gas (upstream and midstream), power generation, and construction clients across the United States and Canada. She specializes in helping clients develop technical and effective solutions in difficult regulatory environments, including the Colorado front range/DJ Basin and tribal and public lands.
Shannon’s significant onsite experience as a field occupational and process safety representative and environmental representative in upstream and midstream oil and gas operations gives her a unique operational knowledge of a range of project types, from design to build to operations and finally demobilization and remediation. She and her experienced team love collaborating with the rest of the company to bring additional value to Halker’s clients at any phase of a project, focusing on efficient and thorough project execution.
Shannon holds a B.S. in Chemical and Biological Engineering from Colorado State University. Outside of work, she loves spending time in the great outdoors with her family: hiking, camping, fishing, and hunting. She is active in her community and an advocate for community development, environmental conservation, and education.
