I am delighted to have been awarded MCIfA accreditation. Achieving MCIfA was the next logical step in my career progression, and coincided with a promotion to Senior Historic Environment Consultant at The Environment Partnership (TEP) Ltd.
As a senior consultant I undertake a variety of projects, ranging from producing desk-based assessments to managing archaeological excavations. Each project requires thorough knowledge of the legislation, policies and guidance which apply and understanding of the reasoning for the project so that it can be tailored accordingly. I really enjoy the variety of projects and locations this work provides, and I am constantly learning.
The application process gave me an opportunity to review the work I’ve undertaken and consider all the things I’ve learnt over the nine years since my first job as a trainee field archaeologist. The professional discussion interview was something that I was apprehensive about, but the interviewers made me feel more at ease and less daunted, and it really was a professional discussion rather than an examination on how I work!
