Better by design

In an increasingly subsidy-free world, increasing the output of a solar panel by 5% or saving 50,000 euros by re-routing an underwater cable at a wind farm could make the difference between business case success and failure.

Optimising projects

Your engineering superpowers – perhaps developed in industries such as marine – will help better design projects to maximise generation and minimise cost as well as environmental impact.

Civil Engineers are working with Geologists on developments such as rock anchor foundations to enable faster construction of wind farms.

As a Package Manager, you’ll ensure all the engineering aspects of a project are delivered on time and on budget. Our teams also play an important part in looking after the operating fleet, with Mechanical Engineers investigating breakdowns and advising on modifications.

Looking to the future

Advances in construction techniques, materials and technology offer exciting opportunities to further reduce the costs of generation projects in the long term. Understanding what the future holds will be crucial to planning our future pipeline.

Working in collaboration

As a Roadmap Engineer you’ll engage with key suppliers to understand what is on their drawing boards now and what that could mean for the future. For example, assessing the efficiency of turbine prototypes which won’t be in service for several years ahead.

Cost Engineers play a key role by focusing on spending on projects now to be able to better budget and plan for the future. Our mission is to enable fossil-free living in a generation and Environmental Engineers are helping ensure our projects are also designed with minimum impact on the natural world.
