Clean Energy Rotation Programme (Graduate)
Location: Belfast (hybrid)
Salary: £35,000 – £45,000, depending on experience
Type: Full-time | Two-year rotational programme
About us
We develop, build, own and operate renewable energy projects across the island of Ireland, with a portfolio covering onshore wind, solar and battery energy storage (BESS). The island’s electricity system operates as a single all-island market, and our projects and people work across it. From our Belfast office, this programme develops the graduates we expect to help lead the island’s energy transition.
The programme
- This is a two-year, full-time rotational position for graduates who want to understand the whole clean energy business before choosing a specialty. You will complete three eight-month rotations across our core functions, shaped around your strengths and interests:
- Development: siting, planning, grid connection and the commercial groundwork that takes a project from map to shovel-ready
- Engineering & Construction: technical design, contractor coordination and delivering projects in the field
- Finance & Asset Management: investment analysis, project finance and the commercial performance of our operating fleet
- You will finish the programme with a permanent placement on the team where you have found the strongest fit, along with a network and a company-wide understanding that most professionals take years to build.
What you will do
- Join each team as a full contributor, with real deliverables and ownership from your first week
- Support live projects through analysis, modelling, applications, technical reviews and site visits across the island
- Present your work to senior leadership at the end of each rotation
- Learn directly from experienced developers, engineers and financiers, with a dedicated mentor throughout
- Build the cross-functional fluency that accelerates careers in this industry
What we are looking for
- A degree (2.1 or above) in engineering, environmental science, economics, finance, business or a related field
- A genuine interest in clean energy and the transition to a decarbonised economy
- Strong analytical skills and comfort with data, spreadsheets and learning new tools
- Clear communication and the confidence to work across every part of a business
- Adaptability: three rotations mean three new teams, new problems and steep learning curves
- The right to work in the UK
- No prior energy experience is required. Internships, placements, research or campus involvement that show initiative are an advantage. We hire for aptitude and attitude.
What we offer
- £35,000 – £45,000 starting salary, depending on experience
- Hybrid working from our Belfast office
- A structured two-year programme with a dedicated mentor and visibility to senior leadership
- Guaranteed permanent placement on successful completion
- Pension contributions, generous annual leave and wellbeing support
- Relocation support for candidates moving to Belfast
- A front-row seat to the energy transition of an entire island
