Lee Manson’s experience, Industrial Placement
“I joined while studying to be an Electrical Design Engineer at university. It let me put theory into practice. I wouldn’t change it for anything else.”
Kiaya Pandya's experience, Blue Lab intern
EDF Energy offers an exciting insight into the energy sector, from generation through wholesale markets to customer service. As someone who aims to find a career in renewable energy, this broad overview, and variety of experience, has allowed me to grow my understanding of this diverse environment. My role involves researching, planning, developing and trailing new projects with the aim of rolling out the solutions we develop to the wider business. I have built a Facebook chat bot and am developing structures for a potential future app. I have been encouraged me to meet as many people, in as many different disciplines as possible, to help me gain a deeper, holistic view of the organisation. I have been sent to various offices and sites to talk with professionals in roles I am aiming towards. It was brilliant to get such an in-depth and personal insight into the world of offshore generation and R&D.
