Purpose and Scope
Energy Solutions is a leading provider of fully integrated power, monitoring, and control systems in the marine, vehicle, and off-grid markets. Our innovative solutions have given focus for many years towards a sustainable and resilient energy future with hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) gaining more attraction to our clients.
Established for 30 years, our success has been achieved because of our people and their innovation continues to drive us forward. We research, design and manufacture in-house, and boast an exceptionally talented team, providing solutions in diverse markets across the UK and internationally.

You will be driven by this opportunity to get stuck in and share your technical know-how and extensive proven industry experience.
