James began his career at Fugro GB Marine in Wallingford, Oxfordshire working on projects that were primarily focused on data acquisition and geotechnical logging for offshore site investigations. After seven years with Fugro GB Marine, James moved to Fugro GeoServices Ltd, where the focus shifted to data acquisition and geotechnical logging for onshore and nearshore site investigations.
James is a fellow of the Geological Society of London and is currently working towards his chartership. James is a STEM Ambassador with the national STEM Learning network attending schools and further education facilities to engage with and inspire the next generation of geotechnical engineers and geoscientists.
An adventurer at heart, James enjoys exploring new places, their cultures and being outdoors. He enjoys cycling, spending time working in his workshop and supporting his two boys when they play Rugby at the local club.
