The future of the energy sector depends on how we nurture today’s emerging engineers. Technical expertise is vital, but so is leadership, communication, and resilience. Mentorship bridges this gap—equipping young professionals with the skills and confidence to thrive in demanding environments.
Having mentored interns, graduate hires, and early-career engineers, I’ve learned that effective mentorship is less about instruction and more about empowerment. It’s about listening, guiding, and challenging mentees to think critically and grow independently.
In a fast-changing world of digitalization, sustainability, and energy transition, mentorship helps young engineers understand not just the “how” but the “why” behind their work. The result? Professionals who are purpose-driven, technically sound, and ready to lead.
Empowering others is one of the most impactful legacies any engineer can leave behind.
