You will have heard about the term ‘energy transition’ and perhaps wondered what this means and even how you can get involved.

Our job is to ensure the blades keep their profile and are optimum for producing electricity. A career with GEV is taking ownership of the challenges we face globally and personally contributing to a positive future for us all.
