Sennen is hiring a product designer to bring a cohesive approach to design that improves how users interact with our global offshore wind farm and renewable energy management web application and developer tools.
Our vision is to transform infrastructure through technology, for a more sustainable world. Our mission is to become the go-to technology provider for renewable energy operators who are serious about safety, automation and efficiency at scale.

We're looking for
- Someone ready to influence us on UX and design across an entire product suite
- User empathy, able to consider a diverse range of user needs
- A readiness and ability to work in a small team environment, with a delivery focus
- Ability to translate ideas into to clear and representative digital mockups, using Sketch, Figma, InVision, or similar
- Solid abilities in UX and UI design, honed in data-intensive use cases, such as; information rich dashboards, software tools, big data approaches, or data visualisations etc.
- Ability to consider the whole product experience, and conceive consistent user-facing and accessible solutions
- A collaborative and pragmatic approach, comfortable working alongside developers to deliver effective solutions that meet clients’ requirements and timelines
