Welcome to Dextra
We specialize in outsourced project management and program optimization for the enviromental engineering industry
About Dextra
In 2018, the Project Management Institute estimated that $1 million is wasted every 20 seconds by organizations around the world due to poor project management practices (PMI Pulse of the Profession). However, the environmental engineering industry is dominated by consulting firms focused on providing technical solutions for its clients. Dextra was founded to bridge the gap between technically-focused solutions and the corresponding management expertise that is necessary for a company to excel. Comprised of degreed technical professionals who are experts in project management, we are continually focused on building management solutions that are client-driven and strategically aligned with the business objectives of the client’s organization.
Our logo and our name (Latin for “right hand”) demonstrate our overarching philosophy to work hand in hand with our clients.
How We Work

Dextra’s core clients include industry managers responsible for environmental program success and regulatory compliance. We seamlessly integrate into our client’s organization, managing projects on their behalf and always advocating for their objectives.
Project Delivery
Through our years of success managing projects, we help our clients achieve new levels of success. This includes, for example, negotiating favorable outcomes with regulators, optimizing performance and costs from the company’s technical consultants, completing tasks on schedule, and moving remediation sites to closure or long-term monitoring in an expeditious manner. We work as a valued team collaborator, sharing our solutions and best practices with other team members.
Program Maturity
Impeccable project management is often just the start of what Dextra offers. We have a wealth of experience in establishing project controls, analyzing project and program risks, building environmental reserve tracking systems, and developing key performance indicator dashboards. One size does not fit all. We work with our clients to develop custom solutions that bring a competitive advantage to their environmental management activities.
