Communications director leaving DOE cleanup branch

Carrie Meyer, who heads communications and stakeholder engagement for the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management, has left the agency.

“After 18 years with the US Department of Energy, I’ve officially checked out for the last time,” Meyer said over the weekend on her LinkedIn profile page. “Excited for new opportunities on the horizon!”

Meyer did not provide any further details and did not say if she would be taking one of the White House deferred resignation buyouts.

Meyer spent much of her federal career working in communications at DOE’s Hanford Site in Washington state. She has also worked in public affairs for the National Nuclear Security Administration, according to her LinkedIn profile. In the private sector, Meyer has worked for Bechtel National, Energy Northwest, BNFL and Jacobs.
