MEET OUR PEOPLE
At RES, one of the world’s leading renewable energy companies we’ll give you experience at the cutting edge of the industry and the chance to make a name for yourself too. You’ll get to see projects through from conception to completion. And most important of all, you’ll influence the way that people think about energy all over the world
Please meet some of the people who have joined us already. Hopefully, before too long, you’ll be thinking about joining us too.
Jamie Scurlock ( Turbine Engineer )
After graduating from Imperial College with a degree in Aeronautical Engineering I worked for Airbus designing and testing the A380 landing gear systems in the UK and France. After completing a successful flight test campaign I looked for a new and exciting challenge in the world of engineering. In the current climate one of the largest global issues is sustainable, affordable energy and RES is tackling this problem head-on. I was immediately involved in the construction of a wind farm in a remote part of Sweden, not far from the arctic circle in temperatures of -30ºC! These conditions prove a challenge for survival (and driving) let alone for construction and operation of a wind farm. However RES has built on the success of this first project in Lapland and secured two further projects totalling over 100MW to be constructed in Sweden in 2008/9. My role is now focussed on the development of turbine technology to ensure maximum safety and production throughout project lifetime. This involves regular contact with the turbine suppliers to solve technical issues
Sarah Royse ( Principal Consultant, Sustainable Buildings )
I have always been inspired by the application of science to real-life situations. After having graduated with a degree in physics and mathematics, I spent five years working as a building services and environmental engineer. This taught me a great deal about the environmental design of buildings; how to exploit passive design techniques and to integrate low and zero carbon technologies to the benefit of occupants, and the environment. Since joining the RES Group subsidiary Inbuilt, which specialises exclusively in sustainable buildings, communities and construction, not only I have been able to use this experience, but have also developed new skills through their unique approach that addresses sustainability holistically. The scope, nature and ethos are what attracted me most - sustainable development is an exciting challenge and working here I feel like I really am helping to make a difference.
Karen-Anne Duguid ( Senior Wind Analyst )
After a summer placement at RES, I completed an MEng before returning as a permanent employee in 2001. I’ve been involved in wind analysis throughout and now help manage the Glasgow team, who carry out wind resource assessments in the UK, Ireland, France, Sweden, Norway, Australia and New Zealand; my job’s taken me all over the world. I get a real attachment to the projects I’m involved in and nothing beats seeing pictures of 'your' wind farm being constructed. My civil engineering background may not be a typical route to a job in wind analysis but that first summer with RES left a lasting impression on me and my environmental principles. I returned to the company after graduating because I wanted to work within an intellectually stimulating environment, where coming to the office everyday means working towards a sustainable future. I haven’t been disappointed.
