These include the world’s largest offshore wind farms: Orsted’s Hornsea One, Two and Three, and Scotland’s largest offshore wind farm SSE’s Berwick Bank.
Other “firsts” include bp and EnBW’s first offshore wind farms in England (Morgan), Wales (Mona) and Scotland (Morven), and Australia’s first offshore wind project, CIP’s Star of the South. We are also providing marine subject matter expertise to support Vineyard Wind, the United States’ first utility-scale offshore wind energy project and have been selected as ESIA consultant for Firefly, Equinor’s first floating offshore wind project in South Korea. With an enviable client list, and the highest calibre team, we offer unparalleled opportunities to apply your talent and truly develop your career.
What you’ll be doing

Who we’re looking for

Applicants with experience of working in other offshore industries (e.g., Oil & Gas) or onshore energy infrastructure projects would also be welcomed.
A post-graduate qualification in a relevant environmental discipline and an interest in obtaining a membership or chartered status of a relevant professional institute is desirable.
What’s in it for you?
If you’re interested in how we use and manage the marine environment and want to help meet NetZero targets through the development of offshore renewable energy, then talk to us about our career opportunities in this area.
