With over 10 years of experience in electrical engineering, Bilal Karabacak is dedicating his career to improving energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions, and helping businesses adopt sustainable energy solutions. His journey spans multiple industries, from designing electrical systems to overseeing large-scale construction projects and working on transmission lines. Now, as an Energy Engineer at VisionGreen Consultancy, Bilal plays a pivotal role in conducting energy audits, identifying inefficiencies, and solutions that drive meaningful change.
A Career Built on Problem-Solving
Bilal’s career began with hands-on experience in electrical system design and construction, working across hospitals, schools, and hotels. Later, he transitioned to transmission line engineering, broadening his expertise. Reflecting on his journey, he shares: “Before joining VisionGreen, I spent nearly 10 years in electrical engineering, working across different industries. I designed, installed, and managed electrical systems, but I realised my real passion was in energy efficiency.” This shift in focus led Bilal to Ireland, where he is pursuing a Master’s in Entrepreneurship while simultaneously deepening his knowledge in energy reduction and sustainability. A Day in the Life at VisionGreen Bilal’s day-to-day work involves conducting energy audits, analysing data, and consulting with businesses to improve their sustainability efforts. “I meet with clients, assess their energy usage, and generate reports with recommendations. My goal is to find the best technical solutions to reduce their carbon footprint while also lowering costs. Energy efficiency is not just about saving money, it’s about protecting resources for the future.” His work is driven by a deep commitment to sustainability, something that first became apparent during his time working in ?? “I noticed that energy loss was a huge problem. People weren’t paying attention to waste, and I realised how critical energy management is, not just for businesses, but for the world.”
The Future of Energy Management
Looking ahead, Bilal envisions an even greater focus on industrial energy audits and large-scale energy management solutions. “I love the technical side of my work. I want to be a part of expanding our energy services in industrial sectors, because there’s so much potential to improve efficiency there. The more knowledge we gain, the bigger impact we can make.” His passion is clear: energy efficiency is the best investment a business can make. He believes that sustainability is not just about compliance or cost savings, but about securing a future where businesses and communities thrive together.
Why Energy Matters
For Bilal, energy management is a collective responsibility: “Energy doesn’t belong to any one person, it belongs to everyone. That’s why every individual and every business must take responsibility for how they use it.” His work at VisionGreen ensures that businesses aren’t just meeting sustainability targets, but are actively becoming part of the solution. Bilal’s expertise, problem-solving mindset, and commitment to sustainability make him a valuable asset to VisionGreen, and a key player in building a greener future.
