We design, construct, operate, and maintain multi-technology assets, including solar PV, battery energy storage, heat pumps, and advanced controls.

As the energy sector grows rapidly, interns will have the opportunity to upskill in cutting-edge technologies and gain exposure to real-world engineering projects.
Position OverviewThis internship offers hands-on onsite experience supporting health and safety activities on our Solar or Wind Farm project. Reporting to the Site HSEQ Lead, the intern will assist with site safety documentation, inspections, audits, inductions, toolbox talks, observations, and follow-up actions.

- Assist with site safety inspections, audits, observations, and close-out of corrective actions.
- Help maintain accurate HSEQ records, inspection checklists, safety documentation, photos, and reports.
- Support the preparation and coordination of site inductions, toolbox talks, briefings, and safety communications.
- Assist in reviewing RAMS, permits, method statements, and site safety requirements under supervision.
- Support incident, near-miss, and hazard reporting processes, including follow-up tracking where required.
- Attend site meetings where required and provide updates on HSEQ actions, inspections, and outstanding items.
