Future graduates will be qualified for roles such as turbine operations engineer, renewable energy consultant, or cybersecurity specialist, with potential monthly salaries reaching several thousand PLN gross.

Recruitment Open Until July 7, 2025

Poland is rapidly expanding its offshore wind energy sector, becoming one of the key players in the Baltic region.

“With the first wind farms expected to go online as early as 2026, demand for qualified offshore specialists is growing fast. Our DigiWind master’s program at Gdańsk University of Technology is a great opportunity for those who want to be part of the country’s energy transition and build careers in a cutting-edge industry,” said Dr. Michał Wójcik, professor of engineering and head of the DigiWind project.

The Smart Renewable Energy Engineering program combines state-of-the-art digital technologies—such as artificial intelligence, data analytics, and cybersecurity—with expertise in offshore engineering and project management. Collaboration with key players in the wind energy sector, including industry patron PGE Baltica, one of Poland’s offshore wind leaders, reflects the growing importance of partnerships between academia and industry.

The cooperation between Gdańsk University of Technology and PGE Baltica includes co-developing course content, organizing guest lectures by industry experts, offering internships and placements, providing career guidance, and mentoring final-year projects.

“We’ve been working with Gdańsk University of Technology since 2021, but we’re now taking the partnership to the next level. Offshore energy is no longer a concept—it’s a reality. The first offshore wind projects are already underway, including the advanced Baltica 2 project. This sector needs top talent and strong collaboration with leading academic institutions like Gdańsk Tech. We’re strengthening the link between business and science,” emphasized Bartosz Fedurek, CEO of PGE Baltica.

Graduates of the Smart Renewable Energy Engineering program will have a wide range of career opportunities. They can pursue roles such as wind energy engineer, project manager, data analyst, or cybersecurity engineer. Notably, the offshore sector offers some of the most competitive salaries in Poland, with average monthly earnings reaching well over several thousand PLN.

Full details about the program, admission requirements, and recruitment timeline are available on the university’s website.
