Picture yourself as ...
The significant increase of the world's demand for energy and the expected progression over the coming decades are evidence enough of the need for skilled engineers in this strategically important area. Sustainable energy engineers will be able to command positions across many areas of industry. Developments such as liberalisation of energy markets, globalisation of commerce and production, and the increasing pressures towards sustainability in the energy industry suggest the need for energy specialists with more than technical knowledge alone. People with a broad knowledge of sustainable energy will not only be needed in the energy industry and related sectors such as supply and transmission, but also in research for new renewable energy solutions, engineering, production, transport, infrastructure, consultancy and advisory areas, and government agencies.
