Katie Trembath

Higher Apprentice Katie Trembath is playing a key role in helping Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council to meet challenging decarbonisation and climate change targets.

As a carbon reduction officer, Katie, 27, from Clydach Vale, is involved in developing large scale renewable energy projects, including a six megawatt solar farm and hydro-electric schemes, as well as a range of other work to reduce the council’s carbon footprint.

Skills and knowledge gained during her Higher Apprenticeship in Project Management, delivered by ALS Training, and a Prince2 qualification are key to her role. A postgraduate degree is a future option.

She has exceeded expectations by managing projects and finding innovative solutions to challenges as the council seeks to become a carbon neutral organisation by 2030.
