Emma works for RWE as a rotating equipment engineer. She loves working on cars and motorbikes, which drove her passion to become an engineer!
Lewis loves problem solving, and uses his skills working on decarbonisation projects to remove carbon from the exhaust gases of a power station and store it deep underground.
George makes sure solar and wind power projects run smoothly at RWE. He wasn't sure what he wanted to do, but his interests and skills meant he made a great engineer!
Meet Ben! Ben is a degree apprentice at E.ON, working on projects decarbonise the UK and tackle climate change.
Find out more about apprenticeships at ITM Power, who work with hydrogen and renewable energy.
Meet Owyn, who works on turbines at Drax Power Station and helps supply up to 15% of the UK's electricity.
Energy Manager Jaz works with high street companies to provide advice and support as to how they can reduce their carbon footprint and work towards net zero.
Joshua Firmin is a deaf engineer working with renewable energy at Horan Power Engineering Ltd
Engineers like Yasmin Ali work out how to get oil and gas from deep out of the ground, often from challenging locations like the middle of the sea, and back onto land where we want to use it to power our televisions, computers, and more!
Jaz uses her mechanical engineering skills to find out where supermarkets, retailers, and businesses can make changes to become more energy efficient and environmentally friendly.
If you’re engineering parts for planes, trains or nuclear plants, how do you measure how well they’re working? How do you know if they’re feeling the strain in certain areas or might break? And how can you do this with objects made of metal, when it might not be obvious to the human eye?
How can engineers make some of our most popular products in an efficient, sustainable and environmentally-friendly way as possible?
Nuclear power stations provide a stable, low-carbon energy supply to power our homes and more. Engineering apprentice Victoria Brown explains what goes on inside the plant.
Conor Lewis is a mechanical engineer working for Ørsted on an off-shore windfarm in Cumbria. Often at the very top!
How my first eleven years in engineering helped me see the world and contribute to helping it.
Lorena has studied and worked in Spain, Italy, and now England. She thinks that creating a team of engineers from different backgrounds, with different opinions, is the best way to solve any complex engineering problem.
Angela Malynn is a mechanical engineer, bringing buildings to life so we can live and work in them - from offices to train stations to swimming pools
