Kellie climbs to senior role with Caulmert waste team
An environmental consultant, who spends her spare time bouldering and rock-climbing in landscapes similar to those she spends her working days analysing, has joined leading engineering, environmental, and planning consultancy, Caulmert. Kellie Burston, 29, has been
appointed as Senior Environmental Consultant in the waste department of the fast- growing, employee-owned firm. She said: “I realised very
quickly after university that I needed to specialise, and there was a niche in the waste consultancy sector that I wanted to work and get involved with. “I was particularly interested in
waste because of its importance and the involvement it has in our everyday lives. As a young child, I was always taught and encouraged to be waste aware and resourceful because it will be mine and future generations who it will impact upon. “The team is really friendly
here. The work is very varied, and I’m really enjoying taking on the responsibility of project management.”
