About Us
Maxximus Environmental, Inc., founded in 2000, is an environmental management, health, safety, and security consulting firm headquartered in Rockville, Maryland. Founded by Rafael Lopez, an entrepreneur with more than 15 years industry-related experience, Maxximus is committed to delivering top quality service and solutions on a round-the-clock basis.
In May 2002, Maxximus was certified by the Small Business Administration 8(a) and Small Disadvantaged Business Program.
In 2008, Maxximus expanded its mission to include security services as a logical extension of its core business – protecting employees in the workplace. Today, Maxximus protects people from the perimeter to the inner core of their work spaces, both environmentally and physically. Maxximus differentiates itself from competition in the following ways:
- Small Business Administration 8(a) Status – Maxximus is a SBA and SDB 8(a) certified participant in a government program that is designed to help small disadvantaged businesses receive sole source business or government contracts. This has enhanced Maxximus’ capabilities in providing a broad range of services in the American marketplace.
- Commitment to Training – Maxximus provides intensive on-the-job training to all its staff, as well as formal EHS&S license and certification classes.
- High Employee Retention – The key to Maxximus’ high employee retention rate is due to the fact that it is employee owned. Employees hold an equity position in the firm. Maxximus also provides ongoing training and aligns staff with the right engagements in their areas of interest and expertise. Maxximus has already experienced tremendous growth and success because of this philosophy. It has developed highly trained and engaged professionals, improved client relations, provided quality deliverables, reduced projects costs, and created a corporate culture where people want to remain and grow.
- Client Partnership – Maxximus views each of its client relationships as a business partnership to which it brings an added dimension of service. Services such as customer care, quality assurance, quality control, and overall project management are integral to Maxximus’ partnership approach.
- 24/7 Availability – Maxximus makes itself available to its clients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. With only a few hours notice, Maxximus personnel can be on site, within the local D.C. metropolitan area, to assist clients.
Maxximus has a vast network of trained and capable affiliates, who can be called upon as a force multiplier when the need arises. Thus, Maxximus can confidently offer as large a team of professionals, at any staff level, as the situation requires. Maxximus recognizes the importance of a scalable program in our industry and is committed to meeting the individual needs of our clients, project by project.
