🔌 The first Great Grid Upgrade Job 🛠️ In the years ahead, more of our energy will come from renewables as part of the transition to a cleaner, greener future. This means the UK will need to build new infrastructure, as well as upgrading the existing grid, to bring this clean, green energy from where it’s generated to where it’s needed by homes and businesses. The Great Grid Upgrade is the largest overhaul of the grid in generations. This week we learned about the development consent granted for the Yorkshire GREEN electricity grid project, a groundbreaking £400m initiative to upgrade the high-voltage power network in North Yorkshire. This project is a significant step towards achieving the UK government's net zero targets and creating a cleaner, more resilient energy system. Morrison Energy Services and Murphy will be leading the construction of new overhead lines and substations in Overton and Monk Fryston. Hyosung and Hyundai will supply transformers for the substations, showcasing the importance of collaboration and innovation in driving sustainable energy projects. The construction and maintenance of these substations will require a skilled workforce. Are you ready to be part of this transformative project? More workers will be needed to complete the works and maintain the substations, offering exciting job opportunities in the power industry. Join our training programmes to develop the skills and knowledge needed to excel in the power industry, both in substation and power industry sites. Be part of shaping a sustainable energy future for the UK while advancing your career in the dynamic field of energy infrastructure. Just ask us how!

One of the best parts about the growth of renewable energy is the resulting growth in job opportunities. In the US, 100k new jobs have been added in the last 18 months. And per an analysis by the Political Economy Research Institute at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, an additional 9 MILLION clean energy and climate-related jobs are anticipated to be added over the next decade. #Growth #Employment https://lnkd.in/gycguZwY

💚 World Town Planning Day 💚 As it's world town planning day I thought it would be a good time to reflect on an important discussion that we had as part of our meeting with Julie James, Minister for Climate Change at the Welsh Government. We talked about the really important role of planners in the transition to increased renewable energy generation. In particular there is an urgent need (in both Wales and England) for more local authority planners to be working on renewable energy. A key question that came out of our discussion was: how can we highlight the really important role that local authority planners have in the energy transition, and in doing so make this an appealing career. Linked to this, how can we ensure that local authority planners are supported so they want to stay and develop their careers as energy planners within local authorities. We discussed a range of potential opportunities including the role of the renewables industry in helping to promote planning as a career, as well as opportunities around developing more focused and defined roles for local authority energy planners. A key part of achieving this also involves ensuring that local authority planning departments have enough funding. I don't have all the answers, but anyone who knows me will know that I am extremely enthusiastic about the essential role of planners in our ability to meet net zero targets. I'm therefore really keen to work with others to develop thinking / actions on this and highlight the exciting opportunities available for planners.

The Crucial Role of Site Assessment In Solar Power System Design & Implementation In the dynamic world of solar energy, site visits play a pivotal role in ensuring optimal system design and implementation. Here's why they're indispensable: Maximizing Potential: Site assessments empower engineers to gauge the suitability of a location for solar power generation. By analyzing factors like solar radiation potential, shading, and topography, engineers can tailor designs to harness maximum energy efficiency. Safety First: Beyond energy production, site visits are crucial for identifying safety hazards and environmental risks. Engineers assess factors like terrain stability, seismic activity, and potential impact on local ecosystems, ensuring installations are both sustainable and secure. Client-Centric Solutions: Perhaps most importantly, site visits facilitate meaningful conversations with site owners. By understanding their energy needs and goals firsthand, engineers can craft solar solutions that align perfectly with client requirements. Ready to elevate your renewable energy expertise?

We often hear the argument that we can't switch to renewable energy sources because it's too costly to build the new infrastructure. While building any new infrastructure is costly, did you know that if we were on 100% renewable energy, it would actually save $321 billion in energy costs each year? 💸💰 A study by Rewiring America found that households would save a significant amount of money by switching to clean energy sources. If all elements within a household ran on clean energy (that includes things like your furnace), it could save the average household a tantalizing $2,500 a year. Who wouldn't like that much money back in their pocket? 💰😍 In many cases, we're told that switching to renewable energy will require sacrifice, but that's simply not the case. In the long term, we can expect to see significant savings for our actions, especially for those who can afford to be early adopters of electric vehicles. 🚗💡💪 #energy #recruiting #recruiters #hiring #hiringnow #recruitment #cleanenergytalent #work #careers
