The next, you could be meeting with a municipality, permitting authority or designer. Afterwards, you might be discussing a complex ecological issue with your colleagues. You will have a great deal of freedom in how you organise your work. Would you rather work from home for a day to complete a report? That's fine. Do you prefer being outside or working at project locations? That's fine too. As long as you deliver quality and results, you have the freedom to organise your work in the way that works best for you.
