Case study: Kirsten - Climate consultancy
I am a Climate Change Consultant currently working for a global sustainable development firm which provides design, engineering, architecture, planning, and advisory services across every aspect of the built environment. Its aim is to shape a better world.
I am a Civil Structural Engineer and I work for a renewable energy systems company. A large part of my work originally was the design of foundations for large wind turbines. Since then, my role has broadened to include design and design management of various aspects of wind farms, energy storage projects and solar farms.
I am the Co-Founder and Co-Director of Relic Plastic which is a recycling company that takes plastic waste that has little to no value and makes high-quality, handmade products that will stand the test of time.
I have had a varied career including being a Lecturer in Earth Sciences, a City Councillor, and an Office Manager for a science-based non-governmental organisation.
