OUR TEAM
The methodology behind the Ebtech team is to create a diverse and experienced pool of knowledge.
We all have our specialist fields, and each member of the team has an important role to play to provide our clients with the service that each and every one of them deserves.
We don't actively look for a new team member to fill a specific post, but create a role to fit the right person. We are always on the lookout for young talent to ensure that we are producing a new generation to fill technical roles which are currently filled by more senior engineers.
If you are interested in joining the energy engineering sector please feel free to give us a call.
