Can we have a moment for Structural Sustainability?

Season 1 · Episode 20

Tuesday, November 5, 2024 • Duration 49:04

Howdy All, Happy to say the 20th episode of Carbon climates is officially here.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Orla Kearney, a Sustainability Engineer at ARUP, and it was an absolute honor.

Orla shared an insightful overview of her career journey, starting from her role at a local newspaper's picture desk to studying civil engineering at Trinity College Dublin. She also discussed how she landed an industrial placement with ARUP, which led to her becoming a Graduate Structural Engineer.

In this episode, Orla emphasizes the importance of addressing embodied carbon and provides valuable insights into Life Cycle Analysis assessments.

In addition to her work at ARUP, Orla is a former head of Struct IE NI & Ireland and currently serves on the Engineers Ireland committee. She's also a STEM ambassador and advocates for equal representation in the engineering field.
