Summary
Ian Cullings is a civil and environmental engineer with 10 years of experience delivering safe water systems, environmental protection, and resilient community infrastructure from local inspections to international design. Currently a Civil Engineer at the City of Providence DPW, he brings hands-on regulatory and project-management experience from his time as an Environmental Engineer at Rhode Island DEM overseeing petroleum remediation and 100+ compliance inspections. A Cornell alumnus who led AguaClara’s 100-student program and co-wrote a $75,000 EPA-funded grant, he blends field-tested hydraulic design and prototype development with organizational leadership. He pairs technical skills in GIS, R, and MATLAB-driven analysis with practical construction oversight and enforcement action experience. Comfortable translating complex regulatory and engineering requirements for stakeholders, he focuses on pragmatic, sustainable solutions—often for low-resource contexts informed by international AguaClara partnerships. Based in Providence, RI, he combines public-sector stewardship with a track record of mentoring students and coordinating multi-stakeholder projects.
