At the heart of our UK operations effort, our committed SCADA/C&I teams play a critical role in keeping our wind farms operating at maximum efficiency, powering hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses across the UK. In addition to gaining a deep understanding of the industrial control systems used across the Offshore Wind, you’ll be a valued part of our team gaining hands on experience and working with multi-disciplinary teams, providing you with a holistic view of the sector.

And, if you’re a student member of the IET or InstMC you’ll be in good company; we’ll support you in linking the knowledge and skills you build with us to the relevant professional standards.
