About Gwendoly Espe

I am an Electromechanical Engineer currently concentrating my skills in the renewable energy sector. I volunteer my skills for developing countries designing utility, solar and generator power systems for small communities in need. I have 9+ years of experience working with electrically powered machines used in construction. Primarily designing and testing electromechanical and energy systems on hybrid and electric products. I have been told that I have a knack for managing project tasks and schedule in a cross functional team. My approachable communication style has been a defining project management strategy to influence team members, which consequently leads to meeting deadlines. I am truly passionate about my work and become eager when given the opportunity to work on projects that focus reducing waste through quality and system efficiency.
