In addition, my MA has equipped me with skills to support internal business development including environmental legislation compliance and writing tenders to win project work. Working with the Environment Agency (EA) as a key client whilst at JBA Consulting is an incredibly rewarding experience, allowing me to directly apply my knowledge and skills in a real-world context. The projects I have worked on with the EA range from flood risk management to coastal defence schemes; these require a deep understanding of climate science coupled with the ability to engage with a variety of stakeholders.
