Join our team this summer and be a part of shaping the future energy mix

April 25, 2024

Deep Wind Offshore and Endra are looking for students for projects within offshore wind and solar power.

Deep Wind Offshore will build, operate and own offshore wind farms worldwide. So far, in partnership with EDF Renewables in Norway and bp in South Korea, and with significant progress in Sweden. With the support of strong financial and industrial owners in Octopus Energy, Knutsen OAS, Haugaland Kraft and Sunnhordland Kraftlag, we are developing a new industry in its purest form.  

Endra AS will develop, own and operate large-scale solar power plants in Norway and the Nordic region. With expertise in developing large-scale solar power and solid, all-Norwegian ownership, Endra is a long-term player well-positioned to contribute to rapid growth in solar power production in the Nordics.

Since offshore wind and solar power are intermittent energy resources, it is necessary to establish smart strategies to balance the energy supply throughout the hours, days, weeks and months. This will benefit society because it contributes to stable electricity prices and increases power availability.

Deep Wind Offshore and Endra are looking for two master's students, ideally, an economist, engineer or industrial ecologist, to take on the challenge of looking at possible solutions within this topic based on profitability, security of supply/grid utilization, sustainability, and innovation.
