Engineering UK reports a significant skills shortage but has observed an increase of 55% of job adverts, in the last five years, for green engineering jobs.*
The chosen group will have the chance to engage with professionals, gain hands-on experience, and explore the different roles available in the industry – not just offshore.
Engineering UK reports a significant skills shortage but has observed an increase of 55% of job adverts, in the last five years, for green engineering jobs.
Last year, the work experience was so sought after Ørsted saw over 300 young people apply for the ten spaces.
Harriet Farmery, community engagement officer at Ørsted, said: “This is a great opportunity for local young people to come and get a real feel for what working in Ørsted is like. There will be opportunities to talk with people who work offshore and climb our turbines day-to-day to people who are office-based helping keep everyone safe and our lights on.”
Applications are now open until 3rd February 2025. For more information and to apply, please visit https://forms.office.com/e/zEMatLs3SH
