Energy / Renewable Energy Sources (RES)
You build the future of energy: sun, wind, grids, storage.
You design and deploy energy systems, from photovoltaics to grids and energy storage. One of the fastest-growing industries, driven by the energy transition.
Is it for you?
This field usually suits people of the realistic and investigative type (RIASEC model). Maths and physics, technical thinking, care for the environment.
Salary (indicative, gross/month)
| Stage | Pay |
|---|---|
| Starting out | PLN 6-8k |
| With experience | PLN 12-22k |
These are indicative figures — real pay depends on city, company, specialisation and contract type.
