We tend to do these at pretty short notice, to respond to the needs of the construction and engineering sectors. I have a BSc (Hons) in earth science (1st class), and I'm looking to go back to uni in September to do an MSc in hydrogeology. I'd like to move into the consulting side of the business, but contracting has given me an indispensable insight into the nuts and bolts of site investigation and how you actually get sediment and rock out of the ground.
