Your Team

You will be joining a highly capable, growing, and welcoming team of twenty Environmental Permitting & Nuclear Regulation experts at various stages of their careers, from recent graduates through to industry experts – presenting opportunities to both mentor/guide early career professionals alongside the opportunity to learn from highly experienced industry experts.
