Mainstream Life
Being one of our team will change your world
Mainstreamers are change-makers. Our vision of a world free of fossil fuels powers our purpose of making renewable energy, well… Mainstream.
That common purpose provides our inspiration, and the knowledge that our work is the best chance to avert a climate emergency is a source of huge pride. Making a real difference also requires a culture that supports our rapid growth – one that puts people first.
Our values define us
Wherever we are in the world, whatever we do in the company, we all share the same values that guide us in the way we work and how we deliver.
We innovate and are entrepreneurial in overcoming challenges and seizing opportunities. We operate with integrity, engage with respect, and build-in sustainability. We work as a team and, most importantly, we work safely.
These values are not logos on a wall; we champion them, we celebrate them, we live them. They stand up to the size of our ambition. And they can stand up to yours, too.

Our Vision, Mission and Values
Mainstream by the numbers
Work sustainably, with time for life
Life in a fast-paced company brings its own challenges, and sustaining our performance starts with looking out for your work/life balance.
Our calendar of YouFirst conversations and our Employee Assistance Programmes provide the safe spaces to ask a manager for help, or get the support of an external counsellor.
And our wellbeing programme has featured sessions about disconnecting from the virtual office, the right diet, and personal strategies to keep your head in a good place and energy levels high.
As a Mainstreamer, your health is the company’s highest priority. It’s how we live our first value of safety.
Energise your career here
Planning your progression
Regular ‘Your Career’ conversations with your manager map out your development pathway, with appropriate training and mentoring.
‘I can fulfil my aspirations here’
That’s what 85% of our colleagues said in the 2021 GPtW survey, with 88% agreeing they are “developing professionally”, too.
Our training gets you further
We develop our next leaders from within, for the sustainability of our culture, expertise and ambition for growth. And this talent planning starts and finishes with training.
From the moment you become a Mainstreamer, you will be constantly learning. Firstly, what we do and how we do it, and then all the deep dives you need – conferences, lunch and learns, in-house academies and journals – to stay on top of the latest industry trends and technologies.
There will also be opportunities for paid-for course learning, with every colleague being encouraged to use their annual entitlement to upskill, be it in project management or rough-terrain driving.
Taken together, we received, on average almost a week – 38 hours – of training during 2021.
