Cranston, RI – DiPrete Engineering, a civil engineering and surveying firm located in Cranston, has announced the promotion of Kaitlyn Barnett to director of marketing.

Barnett joined DiPrete in 2017 after working at a public relations firm in Providence. She has over eight years of marketing and communications experience across multiple industries including AEC, nonprofit, technology, healthcare, hospitality, and more.

As part of the Business Development team at DiPrete, Barnett leads the firm’s RFP/RFQ process and helps with proposal writing. She manages all aspects of the firm’s communications including company newsletters, press releases, website, social media platforms, and other marketing initiatives. Barnett also oversees the design of company collateral, coordinates networking events and client meetings, and practices best SEO strategies to help the firm gain exposure in valuable markets.

“Kaitlyn has really stepped outside of her comfort zone, taken on responsibilities that were not necessarily in her wheelhouse, and continues to make herself more versatile in her marketing/business development role,” said Sheryl Guglielmo, senior project manager at DiPrete Engineering.

“Kaitlyn is a great asset to our firm and we could not be more proud of her growth,” added Guglielmo. “We look forward to what her future at DiPrete holds.”
