Tips for international and domestic electrical and civil engineering graduates wanting to secure work in the renewables sector
When it comes to solar and wind farms, there is a lot of work for the two disciplines of civil and electrical engineers
Civil engineers develop the infrastructure—roads, culvert crossings & more—to accommodate heavy equipment to be transported onto the site for the construction phase of the wind and substations, such as transformers, etc
For electrical engineers, opportunities abound in designing and constructing substations as part of a project, plus ongoing asset management, which is where the PLC / SCADA is used to monitor and measure the efficiency of the farms
Asset management is crucial for maximizing the efficiency and lifespan of renewable energy assets and involves detailed monitoring and predictive maintenance. You will also need to develop a solid understanding of PLC and SCADA systems, which are commonly used in many sectors of engineering, for example, mining operational plants as well as in traditional power generation from coal and gas-fired stations and more.
The renewables sector is continuously evolving, offering new challenges each year. Whether you're drawn to civil engineering or the intricate electrical systems in renewable energy, I'm here to help.
