Hays Energy in Aberdeen is currently working in partnership with aclient to resource a Structural Engineer.
Our client has patents pending for a new and innovate type of technology that can be used for renewable energy and as a sustainable source of energy. It harnesses Wave power and the design has already been tested at a smaller scale as a prototype. It can generate power from hydraulic energy into electrical energy and is a totally clean source. It is also not completely visible from the shore therefore may be a preference in comparison to some of the other types of renewable technology on the market.
They are still in the R&D stage of the project, developing the floating device that would be moored offshore. They anticipate they will start offshore testing by 2010 if not before however there are a few challenges they currently need to overcome.
They are looking to recruit a highly experienced structural engineer to become involved in the design and analysis of their brand new innovative wave harnessing system.
This could be a hugely exciting role for someone looking for a challenge and a break-away from the ordinary.
You would be involved with the design, development and market sector analysis of technology that could be applicable.
This position it poses a significant engineering challenge for a highly motivated individual to bring something to the team and undertake this challenge.
They have funding in place to sustain the development therefore they just now need the right engineer........
Should this position not be of interest to you but maybe to someone you know please pass on the details.
