Our differences are our strengths and to promote this by widening and mixing the pool of people that we connect with. Difficult challenges can take unexpected directions but to be resilient and stick with it. Recognise the power of saying ‘I don’t know’.

- Identify opportunities for business change in decommissioning and waste management to Net Zero to have an impact to improve the world and make solutions a reality, e.g. knowledge of integrated waste management, decommissioning waste management planning and radioactive contaminated land remediation.
- Assist in business development by contributing to producing bids and proposals and providing proposal technical text, diagrams, case studies, etc.
- Going global to engage with other team members, sharing knowledge, building networks to deliver the most complex projects working with many different stakeholders.
