Nomad Electric Services team took part in a career fair and our booth stayed busy all day. Students asked genuinely specific questions and they were interested in what does it actually looks like to manage over 2,5 GW of PV installations and energy storage across Europe? It’s a question we’re glad to hear because it shows young people are already thinking not just about the technology, but about the operational scale behind it.
Our engineers were happy to answer and used the chance to talk about the place behind that number, the heart of our operations our Monitoring Center in Łódź. This is where we read the data streaming in from over 1000 installations located in Eyropean Union, respond to alarms or plan service actions. The Monitoring Center never works in isolation, it’s a day-to-day cooperation with field service engineers who physically reach the sites and with distribution system operators, with whom we constantly align operating parameters or power limits. It’s a triangle of data, people on the ground, and DSOs. That has to work smoothly for those 2,5 GW to actually perform the way they should.
One of our engineers from the Monitoring Center summed it up for the students – “We don’t manage megawatts from behind a desk, what we really do is manage a network of people and decisions and we would like to teach you this before you even finish your studies.”
The scale we describe to students is about megawatts and people behind the scenes. Across Nomad Electric Group, almost 400 energy specialists work today – engineers, technicians, data analysts, and people responsible for operations and maintenance. We believe constant growth and lifelong learning are the foundation of progress, not just for our company but for the whole renewable sector in Poland. From out point of view, conversations with students is a genuine investment in the future, not a branding exercise.
This is exactly why we support the Młodzi w Łodzi (Young in Łódź) program, run by the City of Łódź with local employers and technical universities to connect students with companies in the region. We take part because today’s students will, in a few years, be running the projects we’re only just starting. Sharing knowledg it’s part of how we build our talent pipeline.
Meeting students this way also makes the growing importance of local content recommendations very visible. Polish energy engineering isn’t built in one place or one moment. It’s built in technical schools, where theory meets practical skills. And they truly grow on the job amid real installations, real faults, service schedules and conversations with grid operators. Wherever local competence is chosen and valued, a lasting advantage takes shape and that can’t simply be bought or imported overnight.
For us, career fairs are a chance to show students that Polish renewable energy has real scale, real challenges and a real place to work for them today, not just years from now.
