So, we celebrate people who want to grow and develop as we work together on some of the largest projects on the energy world stage.

Our purpose and beliefs:

As Kent, we're tackling the greatest challenge of our time - to bring our world the energy it needs in the most responsible way ever imagined.

It's the energy of every member of our team driven by our beliefs that is making this happen. Whatever our skill, our language, or our culture.

About the job:

***
Key Deliverables:The student will be involved in a portfolio of projects and internal development initiatives in offshore renewables.

Tasks are likely to include:

Assisting in the development of updates to Kent's inhouse virtual wind farm tool through reviewing methodologies for geotechnical design of various foundation types (pin piles, monopiles, suction buckets, gravity bases) for concept level, their implementation in the tool and the associated validation.
Support the geotechnical team in project work; activities may include processing of soil investigation data for characterisation, design of fixed foundations for offshore wind, design of anchors for floating offshore wind, installation assessment for piled foundations or suction bucket foundations.

This is an exciting opportunity to gain practical geotechnical engineering experience in the offshore renewables sector.

The student will produce a report at the end of the contract, summarising the work undertaken.

We are committed to our diverse and inclusive community - a place where we can all be ourselves, thrive and develop.

From day one, we offer a range of family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, and employee networks to support staff from different backgrounds.
