Doing university at the Cornwall Campus was life-changing. I chose UoE because of its reputation and its BSc Geography course content, and chose Cornwall because, well, it’s Cornwall! What a beautiful part of the world to spend a part of my life in. I’ve been working in the renewables industry ever since I graduated, and it’s an ever-changing, evolving, landscape. It’s what keeps things interesting and what I love about my work. I’ve worked in development, asset management, and operations and maintenance, and there’s still so much to learn and grow with in this industry. I have good insight into most facets of the industry so am more than happy to support with any questions! I’m currently the Head of Service Engineering, Northern Europe, at RES. What that means is I oversee the top engineers and technical specialists in providing solutions and improvements across all our operational technologies, and on a day-to-day I work very closely with the operations and maintenance, HSQE, and sales teams.
