The Team
Carole Randall - Renewables Delivery Manager
Carole started work for Writtle College in 1998, having completed an environmental degree the previous year. During her time at Writtle she has worked on numerous projects concerned with the rural environment as well as completing a postgraduate course at the University of Essex. Carole moved into the renewables sector in 2003 when she became first a member of the local delivery team for the then Countryside Agency's Community Renewables Initiative, and finally manager of the same project the following year.
In 2006, while remaining based at Writtle College, Carole began work with Renewables East as their Community Renewables Advisor, incorporating the expertise she had accrued into Renewables East's newest work stream, Mass Market Renewables. The primary role of the Community Renewables Advisor is to offer impartial, expert advice to community groups at all stages of a project, helping to identify where renewable energy technologies might be successfully deployed, which technologies are most appropriate and helping locate funding streams to support such projects. Alongside her community focused activities Carole is also interested in the planning, training and business aspects of the renewables agenda.
While regionally focused during her working day Carole takes a keen interest in more local environment issues and is a trustee of Chelmsford Environment Partnership, an environmental charity. She also takes an active role in environmental initiatives at Writtle College and has been responsible for several successful projects including the establishing of recycling facilities at Writtle's halls of residence and a Big Switch Off Day, highlighting the possible positive impact of behavioural change on energy consumption at the College.
In her spare time Carole is a keen photographer and archer.
