Founded by entrepreneur Adam Norris, the company has more than £50million of investment as it aims to build a floating device that produces electricity through wave energy.
Adam Norris (left in picture) said: “We are looking to recruit talented individuals who think outside the box and fit into our forward-thinking ethos. Our goal is to make a device that can make electricity at a commercially viable price. We also hope to make a difference to mankind. We believe we can make a huge impact in the wave industry.”
Norris set up Wavepower with co-founder and CEO David Rubie-Todd (pictured right) a year-and-a-half ago. They have brought together a team of experts and engineers from the wave industry, including electrical and structural design engineers, hydrodynamic experts, numerical modelers and production specialists who share their vision of bringing a floating point absorber device to fruition.
Wavepower is recruiting 15 experienced engineers now, alongside 10 engineering graduates to start in the summer of 2016 as part of their engineering graduate scheme. They are also taking on five engineering students on a placement and internship scheme.
