Renewable Energy
As the global transition towards renewable energy sources continues to gain momentum, this shift towards greener forms of energy has resulted in an increased demand for engineering professionals with the right skills.
At our company, our renewables team specialises in offshore & onshore wind, which is a major subsector of renewable energy. However, we also have consultants who focus on recruitment across other key renewable subsectors, such as solar (Pv, solar thermal, and concentrated solar), marine (wave/tidal), biomass, and hydropower. We are equipped to provide recruitment solutions across the entire project cycle, ranging from research, development and feasibility, to design and construction, as well as operations & maintenance.
With a proven track record of successfully matching professionals with the needs of our clients, we have earned a reputation as a preferred or sole supplier to some of the most well-known and innovative companies in the renewable energy industry. Our experience and expertise allow us to effectively serve offshore/onshore wind markets in the UK and the world, delivering tailored recruitment solutions to meet the unique requirements of this dynamic and rapidly growing sector.
There are a wide range of careers within renewable engineering, which encompass various roles and responsibilities across different subsectors of renewable energy. Some typical careers within renewable engineering include:
Wind Energy Engineer: Wind energy engineers are responsible for designing, developing, and optimising wind energy systems, including both onshore and offshore wind farms. They may be involved in areas such as wind resource assessment, turbine selection and design, performance monitoring, and maintenance strategies.
Solar Energy Engineer: Solar energy engineers focus on the design, development, and implementation of solar energy systems, including photovoltaic (PV) systems, concentrated solar, and solar thermal systems. They may work on designing solar panels, optimizing system performance, and integrating solar energy into buildings and power grids.
Bioenergy Engineer: Bioenergy engineers work with renewable energy derived from biomass, such as biofuels, biogas, and biomass combustion. They may be involved in areas such as biomass feedstock production, conversion technologies, and system integration.
Hydropower Engineer: Hydropower engineers are involved in the design, construction, and operation of hydropower systems, including dams, turbines, and generators. They may work on projects related to large-scale hydropower plants, small-scale micro-hydropower systems, or marine hydropower technologies.
Geothermal Engineer: Geothermal engineers focus on harnessing energy from the heat within the Earth’s crust. They may be involved in the design, development, and management of geothermal power plants, as well as geothermal heating and cooling systems for buildings.
Grid Integration Engineer: Grid integration engineers are responsible for integrating renewable energy systems into existing power grids. They may work on designing and implementing grid connection strategies, managing power flow, and addressing technical challenges associated with integrating intermittent renewable energy sources into the grid.
Energy Storage Engineer: Energy storage engineers work on developing and implementing technologies for storing renewable energy, such as batteries, pumped hydro storage, and thermal energy storage. They may be involved in designing energy storage systems, optimising system performance, and managing energy storage operations.
Research and Development (R&D) Engineer: R&D engineers in renewable engineering focus on advancing renewable energy technologies through research, innovation, and development of new technologies. They may work on areas such as improving the efficiency and performance of renewable energy systems, developing new materials, and conducting feasibility studies for new renewable energy projects.
These are just some examples of the diverse career opportunities available in the field of renewable engineering. The renewable energy industry is continuously evolving, offering a wide range of roles that require specialised knowledge, skills, and expertise to contribute towards the development of sustainable and clean energy solutions.
