Description
Offshore renewable energy engineers design and supervise the installation of offshore energy farms and equipment. They research and test locations to find the most productive location, ensure the successful execution of the design plan and make any necessary modifications or provide targeted advice. Offshore renewable energy engineers test equipment such as wind-turbine blades, tidal stream and wave generators. They develop strategies for more efficient energy production, and environmental sustainability.
