I joined JPP as a Graduate Engineer in 2023 after I had completed my Physical Geography BSc from the University of Liverpool. I wanted to apply my knowledge of geology to real-world scenarios and develop my skills in a related profession and, being a Graduate Engineer at JPP, has helped me to get well on the way to achieving this goal by working with knowledgeable, helpful, and experienced members of staff, along with CPD opportunities.  After 18 months of on-site and report writing experience, I can proudly say I am no longer a graduate and I am competent in organising and completing site work, logging and sampling a wide variety of soils and rocks, as well as writing reports efficiently and analysing data effectively.

The next steps are to continue learning and progressing to become a Senior Engineer and possibly even gain my chartership. I am continuing my CPD and independent study, I am an active member of the FGS, and I am taking on larger and more complex jobs in order to challenge myself. Thank you to Lydia Crawford, Anthony Paton and Darryl Kelly for their support. Fingers crossed for more challenges in the future.
