Operations Engineering Intern

Description:

At the heart of our UK operations effort, you’ll join a committed and diverse team working to keep our wind farms effectively maintained and operating at maximum efficiency, powering hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses across the UK.

You’ll have the opportunity to experience the full scope of Offshore Windfarm operations, be empowered to make decisions and create a tangible impact on our business. Working as a valued part of our team at Robin Rigg, we’ll ensure you feel fully integrated into our community with a chance to see first-hand how your work is making a difference.

Importantly, you will have plenty of opportunity to go offshore, gaining first-hand experience of working on offshore turbines (we will of course make sure you’re fully trained to do so – we’ll support you through full GWO training and advanced first aid). Your role will make a critical contribution to our overall engineering strategy - with a particular focus on planning for end of asset life - supporting us to keep the blades turning and maximise output.

You’ll have the chance to get involved in numerous projects:
 

• Developing an overarching asset and a main components strategy
• Developing a range of metrics around obsolescence and feeding this into our annual planning process
• Reviewing some of our critical processes (e.g. managing cable terminations) and making recommendations for improvements
• Taking the lead on a continuous improvement project. This exciting part of the role will enable you to hone a number of project management, analytical and communication skills
