Major Projects, Project Manager in Swindon

Sinewave was founded in 2015 with a clear mission from the very start - everything that we do will always be a power for good. Since then, we have gone from a living room start-up to a leading force within the energy transformation sector. We are on a mission to help power the future more sustainably. We are the only B-Corp Certified ICP in the world.

We’re part of powering the UK’s energy transition with innovative high and low voltage electrical solutions up to 400kV.
