    This is a fantastic placement opportunity for an individual wishing to pursue a career in control and instrumentation. 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. You will:
  • Provide support to C&I engineers across a broad range of C&I/SCADA project deliverables

  • Review design specifications and other project documentation, feeding back on their quality and accuracy and making recommendations for improvements

  • Take the lead on delivering multiple assigned work packages - on time and within budget - honing both your technical and delivery skill set.


  • As part of a global function, not only will you have the chance to network with experts from across the world, you will also be invited to attend a number of meetings and workshops in Hamburg, providing a great opportunity to learn about other business cultures.

    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.

  • You'll be an undergraduate studying electrical/electronic engineering or control and instrumentation, or even computer science - with an option to undertake a full year in industry placement in your penultimate year. We're looking for people on track to gain a 2.1 or higher

  • Through both your current knowledge and understanding, you can demonstrate a very strong interest in large scale C&I systems, coupled with an enthusiasm for renewable energy

  • Highly analytical and enjoy getting into the detail, you can also think creatively

  • You're confident in your communication skills - both written and verbal

  • You can demonstrate that you are able to co-ordinate your own workload, be highly organised and meet tight deadlines

  • You have a good knowledge of basic Microsoft packages (e.g. word, excel, powerpoint, outlook) and you'll be developing your programming skills ( some knowledge of SQL would be great)

  • You're comfortable working in a team environment


  • No two days in Offshore Wind are the same - you'll benefit from a collaborative feedback-oriented culture, the chance to tap into a global community of students and graduates, and endless growth opportunities. Backed by a welcoming and diverse team environment, we know we can offer you a truly unique experience.
