Energy engineers design, develop, and audit energy-related projects to find efficient and innovative ways to supply energy. This involves looking at ways to reduce costs, researching ways to generate new energy to reduce carbon emissions and minimize environmental damage, and carrying out site inspections and energy surveys.
Energy engineers work in field-based roles, and often work irregular hours in adverse conditions. Some jobs may even be in remote locations. This job is well-suited to people with strong scientific and mathematical skills who have an interest in the environment and enjoy finding solutions to problems.
