Welcome back to our ‘Meet the Team’ series, where we get to know our team in a bit more detail.
This week we are introducing you to one of our talented environmental consultants, Jill.
Jill Thomson
Environmental Consultant
Favourite quote: ‘May the best of your todays be the worst of your tomorrows’ – Jason Mraz
Job Role: As an environmental consultant, my main role is to work on contaminated land projects including ground investigations, risk assessments and the provision of regular environmental advice to construction companies providing advice on remedial requirements, remedial validation, water supply pipe assessments, the reuse of site won materials, waste classification and landfill tax. I also provide assistance in other areas including the preparation of environmental monitoring annual reports, completion of waste management exemption applications etc.
Experience: I have fourteen years’ experience within the contaminated land industry, during this time I have developed my technical skills and knowledge which enables me to undertake contaminated land projects under both Part IIA and Planning regimes and within a wider environmental setting.
Favourite Project I’ve worked on at Albion: My favourite project is ongoing and involves the review of 3rd party reports to provide environmental advice for numerous residential developments usually within the Central Belt. Advice is provided on capping requirements, waste classification, landfill tax, soil management (disposal or re-use), soil gas assessment (including radon), invasive weeds and water supply pipe requirements and enables the house builder to gain a better understanding of the environmental works that may be required during the site’s development.
Get to know me: An interesting fact about me is that when I was (a lot) younger I used to be a synchronised swimmer and take part in competitions. To this day I still struggle to swim without a nose clip!
When I’m not working you’ll find me..trying to occupy my children or dog, having two young children and a dog keeps me busy. However, I do try and find time to watch a movie at the weekend.
