As a motivated and energised individual, you take ownership of technical work packages, as well as take part in business development activities.

The Renewables Division at Xodus spearheads our overall business activities, establishes project opportunities and provides advisory and strategic consultancy. The business sector is also served by the other discipline-led divisions in Xodus covering environment, subsea engineering, structural engineering, vibration and integrity. As a truly integrated consultancy we bring together the right skills to work with and solve our clients’ challenges.

Our biggest asset is obviously our people,
and that is why we take time to seek out the best people who really ‘fit’ with our culture, and then support them through the natural peaks and challenges of consultancy with initiatives around learning and development, wellbeing, sustainability (and of course we try to have as much fun as we can along the way!).
