Dr Jessica Muirhead is an Associate Director with AQC with over 18 years experience in Air Quality consultancy. Prior to joining AQC in 2024, she spent eleven years at AECOM leading the Air Quality Team’s Urban Regeneration and Solar Farm work streams. She has been responsible for delivering numerous air quality assessments for planning applications and Development Consent Orders (DCOs) including Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) across London and the UK. She spent a year as Technical Advisor to the Greater London Authority delivering training workshops to the London Boroughs, reviewing referrable planning applications and responding to queries on air quality positive and air quality neutral. Jess also has extensive experience providing technical peer reviews for a number of Planning Authorities in the UK, and for The Royal Commission for Al Ula in Saudi Arabia.
