Reid Loper started his career with CrowderGulf in 2010, as Senior Project Manager (SPM) for the BP Oil Spill. In this position, he managed over 1,200 personnel and 600 pieces of equipment across more than eight project sites along the Alabama Gulf Coast. In 2012, he took on the role of SPM for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Agency’s Hurricane Sandy Response. This project involved more than 450,000 cubic yards of debris removal and 109 vessels recovered. As the largest waterway debris removal operation, this project was called “unprecedented” by the DEP commissioner and set new guidelines with the federal government for how marine debris and dredging operations are conducted.
