Mitch’s is applying his diverse background in geology, diving, GIS and offshore surveying to develop an operations and maintenance strategy for major component exchange on a future floating wind farm for Ossian.  His work has to balance logistics, economics and engineering considerations. His interdisciplinary skills and strong stakeholder engagement have made him a valued member of the Ossian team, contributing both to project decision‑making and to wider sector understanding of how to scale and commercialise floating wind technologies.

Ayse knew very little about the offshore renewables sector when she applied to IDCORE, but the research she undertook for her interview really piqued her interest.  She is now working on a digital twin for the Aldbrough Hydrogen Pathfinder Project, a joint venture between SSE Thermal and Equinor.
