Bio

My daughter is 4. She wants to be a guinea pig hairdresser when she grows up. I wanted to be a pilot, but a near miss with a Dundee bridge whilst learning to fly put a stop to that! Chances are when you were growing up, you didn’t say “I want to work for a power generation business”, which is why at Drax we’re more interested in what you want to do with your career now. And at first glance, power generation may not seem like the obvious choice for a fascinating career where you can truly make a difference. But perhaps it should be. We’re a FTSE250 business whose operations in the UK, USA, Canada and now Japan generate over £3bn in GDP and support over 35,000 jobs. Our purpose is simple - to enable a zero carbon, lower cost energy future…and we need amazing people to join us to deliver that purpose. So whether you’re an engineer or a marketeer, whether you work in compliance or commercial, projects or pricing, technology or trading, whether you’re a school leaver or board director, we’d love to hear from you. Head on over to drax.com/careers or drop me a message to say hello!
