ZX Lidars (formerly ZephIR Lidar) provides hub height and turbine mounted wind measurements for wind energy and meteorological applications onshore and offshore with leading wind Lidar products, ZX 300, ZX 300M and ZX TM. 

With more than 10 million hours of operation in the field and over 1000 deployments (and counting) we have pioneered the use of Lidar in the wind industry, with many world firsts including upwind measurements from a turbine nacelle, turbine wake studies, offshore deployments both fixed and floating, an industry-accepted validation process, re-financing and re-powering a wind farm, technology accuracy demonstration in a wind tunnel and total project financing.

ZX 300 is used for remote wind profiling extensively through the pre-planning / scoping, planning, development, construction and operational phases of a wind energy project in combination with short met masts and tall met masts and associated cup anemometers, roaming during site-prospecting, stand-alone in replacement of a met mast and as a fixed reference control mast.

ZX 300M takes your wind measurements offshore both of fixed and floating platforms - it is the industry standard Lidar offshore available on all commercial floating platforms and suitable for integration in all fixed platforms.

ZX TM is mounted in the spinner / on the nacelle or hub of a wind turbine generator in horizontal mode for yaw misalignment, turbine calibrations, End of Warranty inspections, power curve measurements (absolute and relative), R&D projects and full turbine control.

Each and every system is validated either at the IEC compliant UK Remote Sensing Test Site or against a Golden Lidar both in accordance to a industry-accepted process. DNV GL considers ZX 300 and ZX 300M accepted for use in bankable / finance-grade wind speed and energy assessments with either no or limited on-site met mast comparisons in benign conditions.

 We have an exciting opportunity for a motivated individual to join us at ZX Measurement Services on a 12 month Internship, offering full training and the opportunity to learn and gain an understanding of the Renewable Energy Market and wind measurement technologies.
 At ZX Lidars we are quietly changing the world by solving problems with science and making a positive contribution towards the environment. We are ‘the’ pioneering Original Equipment Manufacturer of ‘Lidar’, Headquartered in Worcestershire and with further offices in Glasgow. Our team of pioneering innovators and experts (our ZX Family) designs, develops, produces, sells, and supports ground-breaking world leading products that have changed, and continue to change, the way wind is measured. In doing so, ZX Lidars has facilitated the acceleration of the development of wind projects around the world.
 We would love to hear from you if you would like to join us and contribute to our mission and vision to deploy Lidar technology on every commercial wind project globally, be disruptive and to make a difference.
 We are a future. Perhaps we are the future you are looking for too?
 This is a 12 Month Internship role offering suitable candidates the opportunity to gain a basic understanding of the Renewable Energy Market in relation to resource assessment and the current and future wind measurement technologies including:
 <ul>
 <li> Understanding the importance of sustainable energy.</li>
 <li> Understanding the main sources of renewable energy.</li>
 <li> Knowledge of wind basics and wind energy conversion.</li>
 <li> Understanding wind measurement methods and the impact measurements and wind data have in the feasibility of wind farm projects and wind farm operations.</li>
 <li> Technical understanding of traditional wind assessments methods using cup anemometry and meteorological masts.</li>
 <li> Basic technical understanding of remote sensing devices and principals of operation.</li>
 <li> Basic understanding of typical components within an autonomous hybrid power supply including methanol fuel cells, batteries and photovoltaic panels.</li>
 <li> Competency in the assembly, test, repair and performance evaluation of autonomous power supplies.</li>
 <li> Competency in the planning, execution and commissioning of fully integrated measurement systems in remote rural locations.</li>
 <li> Knowledge of and compliance with environmental and safety regulations and procedures and ability to contribute to the development of safe systems of work and promotion of safety in the management of contractors when working on site.</li>
 </ul>
 We are keen to hear from newly qualified technicians who are passionate to learn and keen to begin their career in the Renewable Energy sector.
 On successful completion of the one year Internship, high performing Interns will be offered the opportunity to join the team as a Wind Measurement Technician.
 This is a Full-Time position working 35 Hours Per week based at ZX Measurement Services in Glasgow (G72 0AD)
 Attached to this advert you will find a detailed Job Profile for the position and an overview of the staff benefits we offer.
 As an equal opportunity employer, we celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
