A Newcastle firm specialising in renewable energy systems has launched a recruitment drive to support demand.
Engenera, which operates from Newburn Riverside, is hiring a number of executive and management roles and promises the creation of 20 jobs with the recent opening of a Glasgow office. The firm provides a range of renewables technologies including solar, wind, air and ground source heat pumps, electric vehicle charging points and combined heat and power systems.
It specialises in solar photovoltaic and battery storage installation, and says a demand for rooftop solar panels has more than doubled over the past year. Engenera points to data from the Microgeneration Certification Scheme - a programme to ensure quality and safety for small-scale renewable energy technologies - which shows there were more than 130,500 installations in 2022, the highest in about seven years.
