We help businesses to grow the economy and improve people’s lives by capturing maximum value from innovative ideas, scientific research and creativity. This post will work within a team comprising KTMs covering nuclear, electrical/grid and thermal aspects of energy. Each KTM also works across the wider energy landscape as well as supporting colleagues from many disciplines within KTN. This role will be concerned with the broad range of renewable energy technologies but will initially have a specific focus on offshore wind and related systems. Working with stakeholders across the sector the post holder will consider the full range of technology challenges that impact the deployment of renewable energy and then seek innovative solutions. The ability to identify potential solutions from other sectors and the research community while translating thinking across disciplines is particularly important. The post holder might have a background in electrical, mechanical or marine engineering. However, an ability to work confidently across these disciplines with a systems approach is a key attribute for the role. The candidate will be expected to have working experience of renewable energy systems with knowledge of offshore technologies being a distinct advantage; they are likely to be a graduate with some industrial experience in the sectors. The ability to relate the sector technologies and their challenges to the broader communities across the KTN and industry is essential. Applications from candidates bringing diversity and fresh thinking to the role are particularly welcome. Applications Close 2 June 2017 How to apply Please send your CV & covering letter to:
