What a energy engineer does
Energy engineers design new, efficient and clean ways to produce, transform, and distribute energy to improve environmental sustainability and energy efficiency. They deal with the extraction of energy through natural resources, such as oil or gas, or renewable and sustainable sources, such as wind or solar power.
