#Civil engineers play a #crucial role in the #development and #implementation #GREEN #ENERGY 1. **Design and Construction**: Civil engineers design and construct infrastructure for renewable energy projects, such as wind farms, solar power plants, and hydroelectric facilities. This involves creating structures that can withstand environmental conditions and optimize energy efficiency. 2. **Site Assessment and Planning**: They assess potential sites for renewable energy projects, considering factors like land stability, environmental impact, and accessibility. This helps ensure that projects are both viable and sustainable. 3. **Integration with Existing Infrastructure**: Engineers work on integrating green energy systems with existing infrastructure. This might involve retrofitting buildings with energy-efficient systems or designing new infrastructure that supports renewable energy. 4. **Sustainability and Efficiency**: They implement sustainable practices in construction and design, such as using eco-friendly materials, optimizing energy use, and reducing waste. This aligns with broader green energy goals and helps minimize the environmental footprint of construction projects. 5. **Regulatory Compliance**: Civil engineers ensure that renewable energy projects comply with environmental regulations and standards. They work to meet legal requirements while achieving project goals. 6. **Innovation and Research**: They engage in research and development to improve green energy technologies and construction methods, contributing to more efficient and cost-effective solutions. In essence, civil engineers are pivotal in advancing green energy by designing and building the infrastructure that supports sustainable energy systems.

In today's round-up of construction and renewable energy headlines, we bring you updates on the exciting journey of Sonnedix, a solar power giant building its largest UK-based solar facility. In tandem, we're intrigued by two gifted young bricklayers trained by Keepmoat, a leading housebuilder, who are addressing the pressing issue of the construction skills gap. Also on our radar is the prediction of an alarming labour shortage in the construction industry and the impressive construction process of Ontario's first rail megaproject. Sonnedix: The Dawn of the UK's Largest Solar Installation Out of Sonnedix's robust 300MW UK portfolio, the grand Cowley Complex is taking shape. The construction of this king-sized solar facility will potentially create a hundred green jobs while simultaneously curbing CO2 emissions by a whopping 48,000 metric tonnes per year. Interestingly, the facility is estimated to generate enough renewable electricity to power 35,000 UK households. Sonnedix's remarkable activities are trailblazing the path for the UK's renewables transformation. As we at AIM observe these developments, we're immensely thrilled by the clear demonstration that renewable energy is a responsible and profitable venture. Brick by Brick - Tackling the Construction Skills Gap The construction industry has been battling a prolonged skills shortage. Coming as a breath of fresh air, two young minds have attained their Level 2 bricklaying apprenticeship from Keepmoat and are poised to infuse new life into this tradition-rich craft. The apprentices became part of the Keepmoat family back in October 2022. Their grit, perseverance, and skill add a much-needed buoyant energy to the industry. From our position at AIM, we are extremely hopeful that more young people will follow in the footsteps of these enthusiastic bricklayers and play pivotal roles in propelling the UK's construction sector forward. Recruiters Warn of Deepening Skills Shortage in Construction The labour shortage in the construction industry is projected to worsen with the plethora of large-scale construction projects lined up in the UK. The outlook is that this would create a labour marketplace equivalent to comparing a water fight to a full-fledged war over talent. At AIM, we are carefully watching how construction companies adjust their recruiting and team-building strategies to weather this storm. Ontario's First Rail Megaproject on Track Iain Thomas FCIOB, after migrating from the UK to Canada, has found himself at the helm of the most significant transit network expansion in the American continent. The £10bn Toronto GO Expansion project is hitting major milestones under his expert leadership. This mammoth project involves the participation of industries from various countries, making it a truly global endeavour. At AIM, we keenly observe this mega project's progress, not only for the insights it may provide into similar potential projects in the UK but also for its impli

🌍 The UK Engineering Job Market: Why is Scotland Different? 🏗️ The UK’s engineering job market has been facing several shifts recently, from skill shortages to evolving industry demands. But when we zoom in on Scotland, we start to see some distinct differences from the rest of the UK. 🔎 What makes Scotland stand out? Strong Renewable Energy Focus – With an abundance of natural resources, Scotland is positioning itself as a leader in the renewable energy sector, particularly in offshore wind, hydropower, and tidal energy. Major Infrastructure Projects – Initiatives like the Scottish Government’s focus on green transport and innovation hubs are driving demand for engineers across civil, mechanical, and environmental disciplines. Talent Retention & Attraction Challenges – Despite these growth opportunities, Scotland sometimes faces challenges in retaining talent due to regional competition, relocation trends, and differing salary expectations compared to the rest of the UK. So, why does Scotland’s engineering landscape differ from other regions in the UK, and what does this mean for both companies and professionals? 💬 What are your thoughts? Have you noticed any other trends or differences in Scotland’s engineering job market? #Engineering #UKJobs #Scotland #RenewableEnergy #TalentRetention #EngineeringJobs

Director of Engineering Services Thomas Barnette celebrated 20 years at the co-op in January. He is June’s #ManagerOfTheMonth. 𝙄𝙣 𝙖 𝙣𝙪𝙩𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙡, 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙙𝙤? “We have our substation group which is responsible for daily operations, maintenance, and operations of substations. The warehousing team handles everything about warehousing, materials, inventory, etc. Distribution Design oversees the designs and layouts of our larger and commercial projects. Kayla Paschal, our project and environmental engineer, oversees environmental compliance and other project activities along with distribution design. I, myself, spend a lot of time working with large industrial companies and large projects as well as overseeing the management of all the groups I mentioned.” 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙢𝙖𝙟𝙤𝙧 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙨𝙞𝙭 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙝𝙨? “When the Engineering and Operations departments split, there was an adjustment period of getting through the transition. The warehouse also now has a manager who oversees operations and has transitioned under the engineering umbrella, all while managing lead time issues. We’ve also been keeping up with the constant growth of our system.” 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙤𝙣 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙢? “Even though all of these separate groups are working on very different tasks, we’re all working together to serve our members. The substations have to stay maintained properly to feed the lines. We need a design before we can build anything. We have to get the material in to build the designs and get things ready for the construction guys to get it done. “I don’t think a lot of people realize how vital this stuff is. We don’t want to over or under-design, so it takes a lot of work to find the right balance to get the lights on when you turn on the switch.” 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙚𝙭𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙪𝙥𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙝𝙨? “With the whole group, I’m excited as we work towards being a unified engineering department working closely together and getting folks more involved. With Engineering and Operations being such a large group before, people were spread out. I want to bring us together to make us closer."

I was able to build on that knowledge over the years to get where I am today. Relay, SCADA, construction, I was able to learn as many aspects of a substation as Berkeley had. As I was able to succeed in those areas, I was given more responsibility over the years.”

What do you think of this? 🤔 I think that companies hiring and trusting younger employees is a fantastic strategy for the future. Generally starting with better knowledge in technology, teaching young professionals the skills they need to thrive in a working environment is a recipe for future success and is something every company must consider. #future #youngprofessional #future #success
