• Soil Scientist

  • Apr 2017 - Apr 2020

  I manage projects from the initial discussions with clients to the site work and reporting. Jobs include Soil Resource Surveys, Soil Management Plans, Soil Investigations (e.g. planting failures), Site Inspections and Soil Monitoring. Site visits require physical work and brain power to build a coherent picture. Currently I specialise in aiding numerous house building companies with the preparation and construction of residential back gardens to reduce the risk of waterlogging and lawn failure. At the office I process samples submitted for testing. We deal with soils from all over the UK so they are extremely variable – topsoils, subsoils, rootzones, tree soils. These reports involve interpretation of laboratory data for a wide range of scenarios and are written on short timescales. Show less
