Journeys of growth and reinvention

Here at JBA, we value the diverse perspectives and unique skills that each of our colleagues brings to the table. Among our most insightful contributors are those who, after gaining valuable experience elsewhere, have chosen to return. These colleagues enrich our team with fresh ideas, enhanced expertise, and new-found skills and knowledge.

Read on to hear from JBA colleagues who've made the decision to return to JBA after working elsewhere. They share the new skills they’ve acquired, the experiences that shaped their professional journeys, and the reasons that ultimately brought them back. Their stories highlight the elements that make JBA a truly special place—a dynamic and supportive space where talent thrives, continuous learning is encouraged, and personal growth is always a priority.

Linton Taylor - Assistant Landscape Architect

"I came back to JBA because I knew that the work was varied and engaging, allowing me to build a wide range of experience in different areas at an early stage in my career. This allowed me to make a more informed choice about the future direction of my career. Importantly, much of the work also aligns with my personal values in regards to tackling the climate crisis, so that was another benefit of returning.
I was also drawn back by the people I work with. I’m fortunate to work with some great people who are knowledgeable and passionate about their fields and who make JBA a really positive place to work."

"I returned to JBA as it was an exciting opportunity to lead and be involved with interesting projects, with the chance to work with many excellent technical specialists within JBA. Along with this, it is an exciting time for the Newport office, and a chance to build and lead an environment team due to successful framework tenders. JBA also has great benefits, including being very encouraging in training, and having a protected training budget."
