Any advice for those who want to take up with the profession?
The renewable energy sector is particularly attractive and has a high level of appreciation for young people, but the operation of energy production plants, beyond the source, requires a deep level of control and continuous verification of results and a deep technical knowledge of the assets. For these reasons it is always necessary to be curious, keep up to date and have the courage to explore unconventional solutions, relying on a careful analysis of production data. All this with clear objectives in mind.
