Gemma Middleton and Nicola Parker, Graduate Sustainability Consultants – Mott MacDoanld

Gemma and Nicola have both been working on bids, proposals and on a variety of different projects. During our time at Motts, we have both helped to co-ordinate Environmental Impact Assessments, we have undertaken SA/SEAs on Local Transport Plans, prepared Sustainability Statements and Environmental Management Plans to name a few. Nicola has also taken her Masters Dissertation further and developed the SDM model as an in-house tool that is still being developed and has been used in projects.

We thought the Masters course provided a real insight into the world of consultancy and prepared us well for our final project. Even though Gemma came from an environmental background before she started the Masters, she still believes that the modules provided a very well informed introduction to the topics and issues for those students that had previously studied a different discipline. The lecturers and leaders were extremely helpful and engaging throughout the year; and provided guidance and support when needed!
