About the Role
Are you ready to help shape the future of clean energy by providing the electrical engineering expertise behind some of the UK and Ireland’s most important onshore renewable energy projects?
At EDF power solutions, we’re delivering an Electric UK and Ireland.
From early-stage development through to construction, commissioning and handover, your work will help deliver safe, reliable and high-performing electrical systems that support the transition to a net zero future.
The Opportunity
As an Electrical Engineer, you’ll join our Onshore Delivery Engineering team within the Central Technical Organisation, supporting a portfolio of onshore wind projects across the UK and Ireland.
