Verified
My name is Gabriel Alegre, I’m a Marine Biologist. Since I finished my Master’s degree, I have worked in different fields, from Ports and harbours, to oil and gas, engineering and offshore wind farm projects, always on the environmental area. From 2016 to 2018 I lived in UK and later, in the Netherlands while I was working, first as marine consultant and later, as offshore coordinator for Baker Consultants (UK). The company’s core activity was underwater noise monitoring and passive acoustic monitoring, mainly for the offshore wind farms projects, being responsible for the “kicking off” of new projects, for training subcontractors, schedules, method statements, environmental risk assessments and everything else related to the company’s field activities. Later, I spent few years working for the oil and gas industry in the middle east, on the largest seismic acquisition project in the world. There, I was responsible not only for leading a team of Marine Fauna Observers and PAM Operators, but also for every environmental aspect of the project and its controls, as the acquisition block was located within a Marine Protected Area, reporting directly to the Client Representative and the local Environmental Agency. In 2022, I joined the renewables industry again, working as Environmental Client Representative during the Arcadis Offshore Wind Farm installation phase, being responsible for implementing the Project Environmental Plan, especially concerning to the protection of the aquatic environment and to supervise the noise mitigation and monitoring activities.
