Become an Energy Influencer

We want to hear from new voices

If you’re a young professional working in the energy sector and you’re enthusiastic about engaging with students about the future of energy, then we want you to join our Energy Influencers!  

We’re interested in giving young people a behind the scenes glimpse of the life of engineers, scientists, managers and technicians. We want to showcase the whole energy mix from oil and gas through to wind, nuclear and hydrogen, and other areas such as carbon capture, refining, digital, technology, finance and government. We want students to hear from a diverse group of people with a wide range of learning experiences.

If you’re willing to  volunteer your time to encourage others to think about the energy sector in a new light, share your stories and tell young people about the relevant subjects and transferable skills that they’ll need to succeed then you could be the Energy Influencer we’re looking for!
