During the final four years of his government service, he specialized in assessing and evaluating Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) reports for development applications, representing CNC (now DEA&DP) and contributing valuable environmental perspectives.

Since concluding his tenure in the public sector in 1997, Bernard has dedicated his expertise to environmental consulting in the private sector. Since founding EnviroAfrica in 1997, he has been actively involved in a diverse array of projects, serving as an Environmental Assessment Practitioner (EAP) and Project Leader. His portfolio includes notable ventures in Renewable Energy, Dams, Pipelines, Water Treatment Plants, Telecommunication Masts, Cemeteries, Resorts, Housing, and Environmental Control (ECO).
