Loreta Adams

Project and Contract Manager

Environment Agency

We are a government-funded public service in the UK working to create a better place for people and our environment. I am a Civil Engineer and in my role as Project Manager for the Environment Agency I deliver large scale civil engineering projects. The projects I work on are mainly flood defence projects, protecting people and properties from coastal and river flooding and enhancing our environment. I have specialised in civil engineering contract management and I have recently delivered a cloud based computer contract management system used by the Environment Agency to manage their Capital Programme contracts.

I love working for an organisation that delivers projects to create a better place for people and our environment.

I spend a lot of time in meetings, on the phone, and sending/reading emails. I spend a lot of time reading and writing reports. My work also involves construction site visits, monitoring progress, and managing construction and financial risk.

I have a Civil Engineering degree.

I will continue sharing my knowledge of construction contract management and training others to become more proficient.

I love horses! I compete at Dressage.

No matter where the start point, work hard, and you can achieve your goals.
