Environmental Consultant

Kailee Herzer brings focus, curiosity and a steady hand to ONE Environmental Group’s Charlotte office, where she works as an Environmental Consultant supporting a wide range of compliance and field-based projects. Since joining the firm, Kailee has quickly grown from intern to full-time team member, building experience across environmental compliance, groundwater sampling, and site assessments.

Originally from New Jersey, Kailee now calls Charlotte home. She earned her degree from UNC Charlotte, where she studied biology and later developed an interest in ecology, an academic path that ultimately led her toward environmental consulting.

In her current role, Kailee supports a variety of projects for Waste Connections sites, with a primary focus on SPCC and stormwater permit compliance. She also conducts groundwater sampling at multiple locations and assists with other environmental compliance tasks. While much of her work involves routine compliance activities, Kailee especially enjoys participating in Phase I Environmental Site Assessments, which gives her exposure to the investigative side of environmental consulting.

Kailee holds a 40-hour HAZWOPER certification and continues to build her technical skills through hands-on fieldwork and training. She appreciates the balance her role offers, blending consistent responsibilities with enough variety to keep each week interesting.

Outside of work, Kailee has been practicing Jiu-Jitsu for more than three years. She also enjoys video games and playing chess.

What Kailee enjoys most about working at ONE is the team environment and the culture of the Charlotte office. She values the mix of routine and variety in her work, as well as the opportunity to grow alongside supportive colleagues.
