Season 2 | Episode 2 | Why would a veteran engineer take a junior role 17 years into their career?

from The REM Podcast - Renewable Energy Movement

For Kim Collins, Director of Project Development for Clear Light Energy, the answer was simple: She wanted to put the puck in the net.In this week’s episode, Kim shares how she deliberately stepped back from seniority to master the technical "weeds" of protection and control. It’s a move most wouldn't have the humility to make, but for Kim, it was the catalyst for everything that followed.She’s since gone on to oversee more than 5GW of wind, solar, and storage across North America.Whether you're an engineer, a developer, or just navigating your own career pivot, Kim’s perspective is as honest as it gets.#RenewableEnergy #CleanEnergy #EnergyTransition #WomenInEngineering #Podcast #CareerStrategyTom Essex: linkedin.com/in/tomessexKim Collins: linkedin.com/in/kimvandenheuvelpeng
