Energy Recruitment

The scale of workforce growth required is staggering—hundreds of thousands of new workers are needed across renewable energy, nuclear, hydrogen, carbon capture, and grid infrastructure. Skills shortages are acute in electrical engineering, C&I, HV engineering, and power systems. The offshore wind industry faces particular challenges recruiting sufficient technicians, engineers, and project managers to deliver deployment targets. The nuclear sector, with new build projects and ageing existing workforce, faces a potential skills crisis.

Perception challenges affect both ends of the sector—oil and gas can be perceived negatively by climate-conscious young people despite transition roles; renewable energy suffers from awareness gaps. Geographic concentration of energy jobs often away from population centres creates recruitment challenges requiring innovative attraction, relocation support, and rotational working arrangements. The transferability of skills from oil and gas to renewables is critical for a just transition, yet ensuring skills development keeps pace with the changing landscape is challenging.
