This month, we catch up with Francesca Moore, Senior Associate, whose background in analytical chemistry gives her a strong understanding of workplace health risks. From memorable trips across the UK to the realities of working on sites where nail varnish isn’t permitted, Fran shares an insight into her role and life at Armstrong Environmental.
I’ve been with Armstrong Environmental for 1 year and 9 months.
I’m a Senior Associate consultant within the occupational hygiene industry.
My role mainly involves carrying out the air sampling, which goes hand in hand with LEV testing, as well as conducting noise assessments for a wide range of clients.
The role is super varied and is a good balance of site work and office-based activities.
I enjoy the fact that every day is different. The variety of clients we work with keeps things interesting, and the people I work alongside make the job even more enjoyable.
One of the biggest challenges is occasionally having to make sacrifices outside of work when the business requires travel and overnight stays. I’d also have to say working on sites where nail varnish isn’t permitted!
I always enjoy working for clients in London as it gives me the opportunity to spend time with friends while I’m there. Another highlight was visiting a client’s site in Inverness last summer, which gave me the chance to climb Ben Nevis which was fab!
Be prepared to make on the spot decisions and trust your judgements.
