Team Leader Engineering Wind Plants
Adela Roman
I started my journey at ContourGlobal few months ago as Global Responsible for the wind engineering of our assets. After after graduating as Industrial Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Madrid, I started working initially on business development and mechanics
In 2021, I started contributing to both bottom-fixed and floating offshore wind projects at various stages of development. In particular, a floating wind industry’s reference off the coast of Portugal, which represented a special experience for me and allowed me to collaborate on two white papers with the talented experts from the University of Porto (FEUP). I also contributed with platform designers to design floating substructures.
Now, in my current role, I look forward to generating a centralized data system to monitor all our operational assets and find synergies that enable improving their performance. Some advice to young women pursuing a career as mine? Wind is so broad that you can seek until you find the aspect of the work you are passionate about, and this will enable for sure a possibility of professional growth for you!

I started working in research in the field of energy markets and grid security while I was still studying. Now I work as Operations Manager in the technical operations department for our wind farms in Austria. This department is responsible for ensuring the smooth and safe operation of our wind turbines.
My ambition is to advance the field of renewable energy, focusing on innovation and efficiency. I aim to deepen my expertise and join impactful contemporary and future-oriented projects that drive sustainable change.
My advice to young women considering a career in ContourGlobal is to stay curious, seize opportunities and be resilient in the face of setbacks. Working in the energy sector means facing challenges, but it also offers incredible opportunities.
Personal Assistant to General Manager Armenia
Zinaida Meloyan
I started my career in administration and project management, working as a Project Manager in an NGO. My transition to the energy sector was unexpected but exciting—I had the opportunity to work with the Ministry of Energy, where I gained valuable insights into energy policy and sectoral development.
I aim to continue growing within the energy sector, further developing my expertise in operations and project coordination. My goal is to take on leadership roles where I can drive efficiency and innovation in administrative processes.
But if there’s one piece of advice I’d share, it’s to be confident and proactive. The energy sector offers incredible opportunities for growth, and it’s important to step forward, take on challenges, and keep learning. ContourGlobal is full of supportive mentors and colleagues that make a huge difference in your growing path.
From Intern to Business Development Analyst
Emanuele Vismara
I joined ContourGlobal as an intern in Internal Audit, eager to apply my academic knowledge to real-world renewable energy projects. During my internship, I worked on assessing carbon emissions across our global portfolio—a project that challenged me to apply theory to practice while collaborating with colleagues worldwide.
The internship also exposed me to the Business Development process, helping me understand project management, approvals, and strategy across CG. Today, I am thriving as a Business Development Analyst in Milan, leveraging the skills and knowledge gained during the internship.
If I could give a suggestion to potential candidates, it would be: “Don’t hesitate to apply because you feel you lack technical knowledge. The internship is a learning experience that equips you to take on real challenges—and you can always explore other functions within the company.”
