Engineering JBA Bentley is a joint venture between JBA and JN Bentley brings together the specialist engineering and environmental consultancy expertise. We were commissioned by the Environment Agency to deal with a failing dam structure. The design, planning for construction and delivery on site required our team to think beyond conventional solutions and find ways to deal with all the constraints. Strong teams working together, challenging each other to deliver the most appropriate solution drives a hugely rewarding working environment.
“Applying the skills I learnt at university to the real-world is very exciting� Amy Brittan, Graduate Civil Engineer

Water Management and Geoscience Flood mapping in Canada Unlike in the UK, there are no centrally-produced flood maps in Canada and, until recent significant flooding in Alberta and Ontario, little public appetite to insure against flood losses. Last year we were awarded the contract to deliver Canada-wide flood maps within a six month period. A key ingredient for the development of fluvial and surface water flood mapping across Canada was a hydrological study.
“We are looking for inquisitive scientists and analysts who are equally comfortable with numbers, words, maps, people and the great outdoors.� For more information on Water Management and Geoscience see link
