Hi, my name is Sadia Maqsood and I am a Project Manager at Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy where I’ve been working for over three years now. Siemens is a large company that does many things, but I work in the business that manufactures and installs onshore wind turbines.

I have worked in various industries in my career which included mobile telecommunication and TV broadcasting communication. Some five years back, due to a personal shift in my views about the impact of human activities on our planet, I was actively seeking opportunities in the renewable sector. I came across a role with my current employer which offered me the opportunity to switch. This began my journey in the renewable industry.

The most rewarding aspect of my job is knowing that I play a small but significant role in providing sustainable and renewable energy to many homes in the UK.
