We are already one of the world’s leading renewable energy companies, with ~20,000 employees worldwide, working in more than 80 locations, in over 20+ countries. 2,600 of these employees are based right here in the UK. We own a diverse operational portfolio, encompassing onshore & offshore wind, hydro, biomass and gas, and our world class trading company links RWE to energy markets around the world.

But to achieve our vision, we need to grow! We are investing more than €50bn over the next decade, increasing our generating capacity through proven and innovative technologies. If you would like to be a part of our journey, an RWE apprenticeship could provide you the opportunity! Find out more below…
