Sennen has recently combined forces with KrakenFlex! Our vision is to transform infrastructure through technology together, for a more sustainable world. Our mission is to become the go-to technology provider for renewable energy operators who are serious about safety, automation and efficiency at scale.

Our technology has two primary functions. For offshore wind farm operators, our sophisticated modular solution is designed to manage marine coordination, work management and health and safety control through a single integrated platform. For asset owners and funders, our software enables asset managers to streamline reporting, improve data quality and manage risk and compliance.

As a company, we seek to collaborate, deliver and grow. We listen to our customers and each other in order to offer support and share our expertise. We have trust and confidence in our team and let our creativity flourish. We don’t have all the answers and are always learning.  Underpinning everything we do is a commitment to help deliver the energy transition to combat climate change and limit environmental destruction.

What you'll do

    • Creating intuitive and powerful new modules and functionality that will serve operators of renewable energy projects. The front end is handled through Sennen’s own dashboard framework linking these through to the database structures. 
    • You will work in a small team of developers with plenty of opportunities for collaboration and skill development.

What you'll need

    • Solid experience in JavaScript, Node.js, TypeScript

    • You have an interest in renewable energy, offshore wind and other infrastructure on which our society depends
