Description

Local Unit & Position Description:
Renewable Projects is a growing team of almost 50 experts in DNV's UK & Ireland region. We are actively solving the biggest challenge of our time, the energy transition. We provide specialist consulting and assurance to the renewable industry for on and offshore wind, solar and storage.

Through 2023 and into 2024 we are looking to strengthen our teams and expand our capability further into the electrical networks and systems which enable renewable electricity generation.

Our work is primarily a mixture of due diligence, owner's engineering and technical consulting.

As consultants, driven by the fast-paced energy market, we are asked to solve a wide range of customers' challenges from equipment inspections to failure investigations and training.

Our primary market is the UK & Ireland, with key hubs in Bristol, London, Glasgow and Dublin.

However, we also collaborate with colleagues across the globe, sharing our knowledge and expertise, to help deliver critical projects for our customers around the world.


Why work with us?


Across DNV, we have a wealth of experience in all energy vectors and with over 4,300 people working to deliver the energy transition, our expertise covers the full breadth and depth of the energy value chain.


What you would be doing:

The solar team has a strong customer focus and work hard to maintain high standards in our projects.

We are looking for individuals that enjoy working in an agile environment, have a can-do attitude, share a passion for learning and thrive on challenge.

We listen to Customers, develop solutions, negotiate contracts, project manage and execute the technical delivery.

While the work is mainly desktop, off site activities and conference and events attendance is also part of the day-to-day job.

Our engineers and consultants are also expected to take on project and bid management as part of their work.

You'll often find yourself project managing your own projects while providing your technical expertise as a team member for other projects.

We appreciate that not everyone will have been exposed to such a broad range of opportunities and activities, so we provide comprehensive technical, project management and sales training to support and develop your skills as you progress your career with us.

There are travel opportunities too for engaging with customers and visiting project sites as part of your role. These are mostly around the UK & Ireland but as a global organisation, occasionally may take you further afield.


Position Qualifications:

Our colleagues come from a vast range of different backgrounds, and we value the diversity of experience, knowledge and thought that this brings to our approach.

  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical issues to nonexperts through reports, meetings and presentations.
