5 - Engineering and Design
Electrical Engineer
Electrical Engineers plan the large electrical circuits that power our lives. In the wind energy sector, they design the circuits and systems that carry electricity from the turbines to our homes. They also troubleshoot and repair any issues that arise, ensuring the power keeps flowing without interruption.
- Knowledge of electrical systems
- Strong problem-solving abilities
- Attention to detail and safety procedures
- Ability to work with specialised tools and equipment
- Teamwork and communication
Mechanical Engineer
Mechanical Engineers are the creative minds who design, build, and install the machines that make our world run smoothly. In the wind energy sector, they work on the parts of wind turbines that need to move, like the blades and the systems that allow them to turn with the wind. They ensure that everything works perfectly, from the smallest gears to the largest shafts, making sure the turbines can generate as much electricity as possible.
- Strong understanding of physics and maths
- Creativity and innovation in design
- Proficiency with design software
- Problem-solving and analytical thinking
- Teamwork and communication
- Attention to detail and safety
Energy Engineer
Energy Engineers are problem-solvers focused on making energy use more efficient and environmentally friendly. In the wind energy sector, they develop new ways to generate power using wind, reduce the amount of energy wasted, and minimise the impact on the environment. They work on everything from research and design to the actual construction of energy systems, always looking for the greenest and most cost-effective solutions.
- Strong research and analytical skills
- Understanding of renewable energy systems
- Creativity in developing new energy solutions
- Ability to work on both small details and big projects
- Passion for environmental protection
