Availability: Present
Relocation: Yes Greetings, My name is Kat Harrold. I've been a Green Roof Designer at Green Roof Service LLC, aka Green Roof Technology, since September of 2010 and will be relocating to the NYC Metro - NJ area shortly to be with my family. I have a BS in Landscape Architecture and have been an accredited GRP for the past 2 years. I am looking for a career where I can grow intellectually and professionally in design, design sales, project management, or research involved with green roofs.
My passion is improving the quality of the day by healing the urban environment through brilliant design. Before becoming involved in green roofs I was research assistant in a project studying the cognitive benefits of green in elderly communities and conducted a study of the Netherlands stormwater infrastructure. The technology and principals that I have learned from becoming an accredited Green Roof Professional (GRP) and working at Green Roof Service LLC have made me highly skilled in green roof design and project management. I have experience in all project phases including site visit, analysis, client consultation, estimates and proposals, site planning and design, construction details, specifications, permit acquisition, construction site supervision, and post construction maintenance inspection. I also have experience giving presentations and academic lectures.
Portfolio, recommendations, and references are available upon request. Please feel free to contact me via the information below. I look forward to speaking with you soon. See resume for additional information.
