Green group looking for graduates - graduate jobs

Top engineering graduates are to benefit from a structured careers programme launched by a leading renewable energy technology group.

Salford-based Ener-g said the new programme will give university leavers a chance to join the low-carbon sector as part of its global expansion strategy.

The firm, which employs mostly engineers, will assign graduates to specialist business areas in a bid to give them ongoing personal development.

Ener-g has a turnover of more than £90 million and employs more than 700 workers throughout the globe.

Derek Duffill, group managing director for Ener-g, said: "Industries in the 'green' sector are chiefly engineering-based, requiring traditional engineering disciplines and this is the founding principle of our graduate development programme.

"High calibre engineers are at a premium and we believe the environmental technology sector will continue to generate explosive growth for many years to come. It offers the long-term career goals and financial rewards that ambitious engineers are looking for. Crucially, it also gives them an opportunity to design, develop, manufacture and operate the technologies that can make such a positive difference to society on a global level."
