*A little heads-up: With some of our team taking some well-deserved annual leave over the next couple of weeks, we may not get around to carefully reviewing all applications until the new year. Every application gets reviewed by a real human, and we’ll be in touch to let you know either way—whether it’s a yes or, sadly, a no this time round. Thanks for your patience and understanding!*

Kraken Generation
Kraken's vision is to transform infrastructure through technology for a more sustainable world. Our mission is to become the go-to technology provider for renewable energy operators who are serious about safety, automation and efficiency at scale.
Our technology has two primary functions. For offshore wind farm operators and developers, our sophisticated modular solution is designed to manage marine coordination, work management and health and safety control through a single integrated platform. For renewable asset owners and funders, our software enables asset managers to streamline reporting, improve data quality and manage risk and compliance.
As a company, we seek to collaborate, deliver and grow. We listen to our customers and each other in order to offer support and share our expertise. We have trust and confidence in our team and let our creativity flourish. We don’t have all the answers and are always learning. Underpinning everything we do is a commitment to help deliver the energy transition to combat climate change and limit environmental destruction.
