OP Renewables’ Post

We asked one of our Principal Associates, Josie Coffey, some quick fire questions about hiring in the Renewables sector... 1. What have you found candidates are looking for most in a new role? Skill enhancement – people are often looking for companies / roles that give exposure to emerging technologies so they can widen their portfolio. Utility-scale projects often gain the most interest from the candidate market. 2. Why are people leaving current roles? Frequent change in management is often the primary reason employees seek new opportunities, pulling people towards stable companies with consistent leadership. 3. What are the most in demand skillsets/ job titles you’re seeing in Renewables? Project Developers – people who have experience with land acquisition, permitting, land leasing, contract negotiation. 4. What is most exciting about the Renewables sector right now? Lots of development in the storage space which is crucial! Wind and solar energy remain at the forefront of Europe’s renewable energy expansion. Onshore wind and utility-scale solar projects, especially those paired with energy storage, are competing well against fossil fuels. Thanks to various tax credits and subsidies, these renewable projects are becoming more financially viable, even with the current economic challenges. Thank you for your thoughts, Josie Coffey! #OPRenewables #Hiring #RenewablesJobs
