She looked at the life-cycle of their sites and the environmental issues that they have to address. She gained an appreciation of the regulatory controls in place and spent a few days sampling on site and learning how the resulting data was processed, as well as taking a look at the regulator reports.<\/p>\n<p>Saga reflected on her time with the company:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-1095 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/employabilitypoints\/files\/2018\/08\/Brett-pic-153x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"179\" height=\"351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/employabilitypoints\/files\/2018\/08\/Brett-pic-153x300.jpg 153w, https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/employabilitypoints\/files\/2018\/08\/Brett-pic-768x1509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/employabilitypoints\/files\/2018\/08\/Brett-pic-521x1024.jpg 521w, https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/employabilitypoints\/files\/2018\/08\/Brett-pic.jpg 1326w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 179px) 100vw, 179px\" \/>&#8216;Spending a week at Brett Construction was very inspiring for my future career! I got an insight both in the theoretical and practical perspectives of environmental\u00a0regulation. I learnt in practice about concepts which I had only studied in class, such as impact assessments or environmental sampling. It was also really fun to visit sites, to get a taste of the daily working life, and of course to wear the Brett safety\u00a0helmet!&#8217;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you would like to find out more about the Brett Group and their involvement with EP, click <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/employabilitypoints\/2018\/08\/13\/brett-group\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Brett Group is the largest independent construction company in the UK, and has been involved with EP since 2012.
