Bristol, United Kingdom Det Norske Veritas Full time
Job Description

Renewables is a growing department of almost 120 experts in DNV's UK & Ireland region. We are actively solving the biggest challenge of our time, the energy transition. We provide specialist consulting and assurance to the renewable industry for on and offshore wind, solar and storage, and power grids. We are continually looking to strengthen our teams and expand our capability further into the electrical networks and systems which enable renewable electricity generation.

Our work is primarily a mixture of due diligence, owner's engineering and technical consulting. As consultants, driven by the fast-paced energy market, we are asked to solve a wide range of customers' challenges from equipment inspections to failure investigations and training. Our primary market is the UK & Ireland, with key hubs in Bristol, London, Glasgow and Dublin. However, we also collaborate with colleagues across the globe, sharing our knowledge and expertise, to help deliver critical projects for our customers around the world.

Our Opportunity:

Our projects are varied and challenging. Our teams are made up of world leading subject matter experts and highly skilled generalists, who bring their specific knowledge, passion and skills together to find solutions for our customer's most complex projects. We are actively growing and increasing the range of challenges we solve for our customers and our planet.

Across DNV, we have a wealth of experience in all energy vectors and with over 5,000 people working to deliver the energy transition, our expertise covers the full breadth and depth of the energy value chain.

Our solar team has a strong customer focus and work hard to maintain high standards in our projects. We are looking for individuals that enjoy working in an agile environment, have a can-do attitude, share a passion for learning and thrive on challenge. We listen to Customers, develop solutions, negotiate contracts, project manage and execute the technical delivery. While the work is mainly desktop, off site activities and conference and events attendance is also part of the day-to-day job.

Our Principal / Senior Consultants are technical experts in their field and are also expected to take on project and bid management as part of their work. You'll often find yourself project managing your own projects while providing your technical expertise as a team member for other projects. We appreciate that not everyone will have been exposed to such a broad range of opportunities and activities, so we provide comprehensive technical, project management and sales training to support and develop your skills as you progress your career with us.

Based out of either our Bristol, London or Glasgow offices, there are travel opportunities for engaging with customers and visiting project sites as part of your role. These are mostly around the UK & Ireland but as a global organisation, occasionally, these may take you further afield.

Responsibilities

  • Exceptional Development and career progression opportunities with regular development discussions with your manager

  • Wellbeing benefits: (including Private Medical, Dental Insurance, Health Assessments, Gym allowance). Company contribution towards eye tests and glasses (for computer/laptop users), and Flu Vaccinations. Also, our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) provides free and confidential support for issues including work, family, relationships, money and health and we provide free fruit in our offices
  • Financial Benefits: including a Pension Scheme with employer pension contributions up to 9%, Life Assurance and Income Protection
  • Travel benefits: Season Ticket Loan, Cycle to Work Scheme, Electric Vehicle Salary Sacrifice Scheme (for personal use)
  • Re-imbursement of relevant Professional Membership Fees (up to £570)
