Bethany Robinson — Senior Environmental Consultant
Getting to know Beth.
What’s your role at UKBC?
As Senior Environmental Consultant I’m responsible for SAP, SBEM and water calculations, overheating assessments, and energy & sustainability statements.
How did you end up here?
I was on the verge of completing my MSc in Energy & Sustainable Development and connected with Tom on LinkedIn after seeing he’d studied the same course. Tom messaged to ask if I’d be interested in a role that was coming up — and here I am.
How has the company changed since you joined?
A lot has changed — Tom and Melissa have become directors and we’ve moved into a new office. The building regulations have shifted my day-to-day too; I now complete simplified overheating and TM59 assessments that didn’t exist when I joined.
Where do your strengths show?
I’m quite organised, which means I manage my workload well and am able to meet deadlines.
Do you remember your first day?
I started about a week after Callum, so it was nice to have another newbie in the office! We both had a full day of training with Tom — a great way to get to know everyone.
What do you enjoy most about the job?
Working with everyone at UKBC. We’re a small team and get on really well — the communication and teamwork definitely makes my job easier.
And outside work?
I recently got engaged, so a lot of my spare time is spent wedding planning!
