#DrivingElectricRevolution and Tech Lancaster is helping highlight career and job opportunities within PEMD ElecTech industries powering the electrification of our world in the race to Net Zero

Creating opportunities for the Power Electech sector.

PEMD

Power Electronics, Machines and Drives (PEMD) are technologies that enable the control and delivery of electrical energy. These technology sectors are growing fast as they are vital in allowing the world to reach net zero. PEMD technologies are used across many sectors including transportation, energy generation and distribution, industrial machines and robotics.
