If you’re in the industry, you’ll know the pain of trying to categorise what you do. We aren’t Electricians, linemen, Power Equipment engineers, or Network Designers. We therefore figure given the industry is so large and detailed specifically within renewable resources, we might put a little something forward for consideration.
Energist (noun)
A professional skilled in the design, installation, or maintenance of systems that generate, store, distribute, or manage electrical power — particularly those involving renewable energy and advanced battery technologies.
An Energist may work in roles such as:
- System designer or consultant
