My clients are a small, friendly team with a head office based in the beautiful county of Somerset. They believe in working hard, working together and learning from each other along the way, providing a rewarding working environment where you can be yourself and not just a number lost in a large company.

- Data interpretation: this can include detailed assessment of data, often using software modelling packages.
- Development of conceptual models: identification and consideration of the potential contaminant sources, critical pathways and receptors that could potentially have an adverse impact on the immediate and wider environment.
- Factual and interpretative report writing: completion of detailed scientific reporting, written in a manner that can be understood by non-technical people as well as to the requirements of the regulatory authorities.
