Encora Energy expands with new hire

Stockton-on-Tees engineering and management consultancy Encora Energy has strengthened its national operations team with the appointment of graduate controls engineer Jack Watson.

Jack joins from Process Group, bringing experience in design engineering and a mechanical engineering degree. 

He will play a key role in rolling out Encora’s innovative CHIPCOB™ system, which extracts real-time data from power plants to improve performance, identify faults quickly and reduce costs.

Jack said: “I’m thrilled to be joining a forward-thinking, progressive company in Encora Energy. 

“In my previous role I started out in design using computer-aided design (CAD) software, but I was able to expand into control and instrumentation work, where I was able to develop my site skills and apply different areas of engineering knowledge. 

“I look forward to bringing my experience to my new role as Encora seeks to cement its position as a nationally recognised engineering and management services consultancy.” 

Encora manages operations and maintenance across over 100MW of energy capacity, including battery storage, solar farms and gas peaking plants. 

Jack’s appointment follows a string of contract wins across the Midlands, South West, East Anglia and North East as the business continues to expand its UK presence.

Andrew Normand, business development director at Encora Energy, added: “Jack’s combination of multi-discipline engineering skills and site knowledge makes him a great addition to our growing team. 

“His practical knowledge of control systems makes him the ideal person to oversee the roll-out of CHIPCOB™, which pulls data from equipment and sensors on site and consolidates them into a single monitoring and analytics platform, enabling site owners to increase the performance of their asset and maximise profits from it.”
