Orla Kearney

Arup

I'm a Sustainability Engineer at Arup Belfast with a background in Structural and Environmental Engineering. I specialise in whole life carbon assessment and carbon management, and I'm passionate about evaluating and reducing the carbon footprint of construction projects. I advocate for a holistic approach, including biodiversity, energy performance and resource management. I'm also heavily involved in community engagement and STEM, as I believe that education is key to tackling the Climate Crisis. I have previously been Chair of the IStructE NI&I Young Members Group and participated in IStructE global council, and I currently sit on the Engineers Ireland Northern Region Committee.
