GreenTech Electrical Engineers, design and build – Renewables, Data Centres & Substations
Location: Norway – Oslo, Portugal – Lisbon, Scandinavia
Salary: €45K – €100K permanent OR; up to €500 per day contract.
Role: Designing and building electrical infrastructure for data centres and renewable power stations on the European mainland.
Electrify everything. With renewables…
That’s the name of the game when it comes to tackling the climate crisis. We’ve passed the point of making renewable energy cheaper than fossil fuels and there are £/$/€ billions being spent on improving capabilities for all types of renewables from wave energy to more efficient photovoltaics.
The EU has recently made initial commitments of € 250 billion to fund green initiatives and enable net-zero progress to counter the Inflation Reduction Act in the US.
This will incentivise the building of building efficient data centres, low-carbon transport, sustainable homes and heating system, substations to connect renewable energy to the grid and international super connectors to share energy across borders.
This transition requires electrical engineers to design, build and maintain the necessary infrastructure. That’s where you come in!
If you’ve worked on complex energy control systems or renewables projects before, or have dabbled in R&D and innovative sectors such as Hydrogen or alternative fuels, grid connections for wave, geothermal or hydropower, you’ll immediately stand out.
A currently small but quickly growing team of ~25 engineers, designers, and project and product managers are working on varied projects currently focused on data centres and designing substations and power stations to take the energy generated by renewables and get it into people’s homes and businesses.
With data centres, they also look to harness excess heat generated by the servers for heating greenhouses, community centres and swimming pools, businesses or homes where possible. They need people with familiarity working on highly innovative projects.
As you’ll no doubt know, substations, solar farms, power stations and data centres aren’t always built in town or city centres, so for hands-on engineering roles, you’ll need to be willing to travel to sites across the Scandinavian region – with appropriate rights to work. This may also apply to design positions where terrain or existing infrastructure complicate things.
The company are charging ahead into a bold new world that’s only accelerating further towards net zero. Decarbonising our daily lives. In 2017 data passed oil as the most valuable commodity on the planet, and renewables projects are increasing rapidly year-on-year so I’m sure you can see the scale of opportunity on offer here.
If this all sounds quite exciting and you meet the requirements mentioned above, please do reach out or apply.
