Are your projects powering through or losing steam? 💡🚧 In the UK power industry, project delivery timelines are feeling the heat. Skilled professionals are the industry's backbone, yet we're seeing a growing gap between project needs and available expertise. From design to operation, every phase demands specialist knowledge. Recently, I dove into the stats and discovered that over 20% of power sector projects reported delays due to skill shortages. The knock-on effects? Increased costs, strained resources, and the ever-looming risk to energy security. Navigating this landscape calls for action. Companies are investing in training, while some are tapping into the global talent pool. But is that enough? I've seen firsthand the impact of mentoring schemes and cross-sector collaboration. The idea is not just to bridge today's gaps but to create a talent ecosystem robust enough for tomorrow's challenges. UPP has 30 years of knowledge of recruiting across this sector, so just ask and we can also help🔥 - is focusing on training initiatives sufficient, or do we need a more innovative approach? Are there lessons to be learnt from other industries? Drop your thoughts below! #UKPowerIndustry #SkillShortage #ProjectManagement

Three of the UK's biggest energy firms have come together in Parliament to launch plans for a low carbon hydrogen hub. The project, named H2H Easington, includes proposals to develop a multi-stage green and blue hydrogen production facility, which will grow over time as the #hydrogen economy does. The partnership will also explore the possibility of a dedicated pipeline linking H2H Easington to Equinor's proposed H2H Saltend hydrogen production facility, as well as Equinor and SSE Thermal's proposed hydrogen storage facility in East Yorkshire, as concerns remain about the infrastructure required to transport hydrogen economically.

A really interesting article, breaking down the key part CCUS will play in the future path to NetZero and the production of low carbon hydrogen. It is a market ENG Bauen have been supporting for many years, working with Global owners and EPCm to help them to achieving their carbon reduction and capture milestones. We are proud to be working at the forefront of this technology with companies using cutting edge technologies to embrace the carbon reduction challenge. Taking into account the global reliance on both Hydrocarbons and Big Industry it is essential that the current drive is not only maintained but increased to safeguard our future.

🌟 Are you unsure about what information to include on your CV? As a recruiter, I often come across CVs that are either too cluttered with irrelevant details or lacking important information. It's crucial to include a succinct personal profile, which précises your professional abilities. Other details to include: your contact information, work experience, education, and any relevant skills or certifications. However, personal details such as age, marital status, or hobbies are best left off your CV. Remember, your CV should be a concise and professional representation of your qualifications and experience. 📝💼 🔍 When crafting your CV, think about what information is truly relevant to the job you're applying for. Tailoring your CV to each position and highlighting the most important details will make you stand out to potential employers - it shows that you're serious about THEIR position. It's a good idea to have a draft CV, which will form the core of that tailored one. If the job asks for particular experience (e.g. aerospace), make sure it's easy to see where in your work history you've had that - put into into your profile section. By focusing on the essentials and omitting unnecessary information, you can create a strong and impactful CV that showcases your fitness for the position effectively. Remember, quality over quantity is key when it comes to your CV. ✨🔑 #CVtips #ProfessionalDevelopment #JobSearch

“The UK has some of the largest carbon capture potential in Europe and we can position as an early mover on CCS and decarbonisation projects. Pace is the problem – too many projects are sitting in the waiting room. We need to get these developments to an advanced stage from concept and design to FID and into construction, faster.” Steve Nicol, Wood Executive President of Operations, speaking at the opening keynote of the Energy Exports Conference in Aberdeen, UK. “The average lifecycle of a project from exploration to production is at least five years, so we need stability in the medium term to attract investment, prove the viability of energy policy and most importantly, give opportunities to the supply chain and its people.” #EEC24 #CCS #Decarbonisation
