From Electrical Engineering to Offshore Wind with Sarah Graham

From Electrical Engineering to Offshore Wind with Sarah Graham

Another week, another episode. Welcome to The Engineer a Career Podcast Sarah Graham.


Sarah joins Josh to share how a high school work placement opened the door to electrical engineering and ultimately led her into offshore wind.


From discovering the real world application of maths and physics at school, to studying at the University of Edinburgh and completing a PhD in power systems and marine energy, Sarah explains how her interest in renewables evolved long before offshore wind became mainstream.


We also explore her move into industry, including the moment she doubted whether she was ready for a major offshore wind role, how she handled imposter syndrome, and why being able to translate technical detail into cost, risk and programme is a defining skill for engineers today. Along the way, she reflects on mentorship, construction delivery, and the scale of opportunity now emerging across renewables.


If you’re a student or early career engineer, this episode offers practical insight, honest reflection, and a clear message: stay curious, back yourself, and take the opportunity.
