Green Jobs: The best thing about working at EGP
Hello! Tell us, what is your name and what do you do for a living?
Hello, my name is Alexis Garay,
I am an electrical engineer,
I work with electrical energy,
not electrical appliances.
My role at Enel is Wind Power Project Manager.
Hold on, please explain it in terms even a child could understand:
what does “Wind Power Project Manager” mean?
Picture me as the chef in a very large kitchen,
working together with a team to cook up
a fantastic and delicious meal, and to reach an objective together.
In actual fact, I coordinate teams of professionals
whose goal is to develop renewable energy plants.
Interesting, although it sounds complicated...
How did you prepare for this job? What did you study?
I studied Electrical Civil Engineering
and I have a Master's in Energy Engineering.
And these studies led you to a company like Enel Green Power.
What is the best thing about working here?
When I started working at Enel,
there were virtually no renewable energy projects in Chile.
I’m talking about wind or solar, there was very little out there.
But, over the years, we went from being a country
that had practically nothing to becoming a country
that is a global benchmark for renewable energy.
This, specifically, having been part of this process,
is what makes me feel
very proud to work at Enel.
It sounds like a fascinating challenge!
Ok, and if you had to say what you like most about your job,
what would it be?
I have found here a group of extraordinary professionals,
but more than that I have found a group of extraordinary people.
So, at Enel I found the opportunity
to not only find good colleagues, but also to find some very good friends.
In case there is any doubt left:
would you recommend working at Enel Green Power?
I think that after everything I’ve said,
it’s pretty clear that the answer is yes.
