A lot of companies like to hire friends and family, instead of hiring qualified candidates. Especially in the Renewable energy field I just want to live out my dream in the solar industry. I have a passion for solar and I would like to see the investors see residual income from projects getting complete. I noticed the more that you know people envy you and don’t want to see you make as a experience person because you know more than the people that’s running the show. They are more worried about getting a experience person off of the project than getting the job done and saving money. Companies rather have somebody in charge that don’t know anything about the solar industry, put them in charge over a group of experience people that’s been doing it for years . I also know it don’t take a lot of credentials to run a solar site and if a company do want you to have credentials, they can help you get them within house if they really care. This goes out to all the Solar Company if you want good workers, pay the price and be fair to your employees make sure if those people help your company get off the ground you give them a good position within the company. Solar company have been throwing qualified employees away kicking them out the door 🚪 Solar company are losing lots of contracts and money because of poor choices they are making.

🚀 Enhancing Renewable Energy Projects with Contract Employees 🌍 In the dynamic field of renewable energy, adaptability is paramount. Employing contract employees offers substantial advantages over permanent staff, particularly for project-based work. Firstly, contract employees bring specialized skills tailored to specific project needs. This ensures that you can onboard experts with the precise expertise required, without the long-term commitment. For instance, if you are developing a solar farm, engaging a contract engineer with extensive solar experience can significantly impact project success. Secondly, cost efficiency is a notable benefit. Contract employees can be hired for the duration of a project, facilitating better budget management. This strategy reduces overhead costs associated with permanent hires, such as benefits and long-term salaries. According to a recent study by the Renewable Energy Association, companies can save up to 30% on project costs by effectively utilizing contract staff. Lastly, contract employees provide scalability. As project demands fluctuate, you can effortlessly adjust your workforce size. This agility ensures that you have the right personnel at the right time, enhancing productivity and meeting project deadlines without the challenge of lengthy hiring processes.

Eyeing That Director Role? Do you have Wind/Solar Development experience? There’s a gap in many organisations between ambitious targets and the actual leadership to make them happen. Too often, the role of director seems to be given to those who talk the loudest rather than those who deliver the most. A director of development should lead with strategy and execution, not buzzwords and endless meetings. If you’re based Central to the East Coast, I have two fantastic roles currently open both remote: 1️⃣ Community Solar Director of Development – Up to 20MW projects with a $175k base + bonus (solar experience required). 2️⃣ Wind Development Director – $230k base + bonus (wind experience essential). Is it time for a shakeup? Are companies looking for directors who understand both the boardroom and the project site? If that's you let’s connect! #Renewables #SolarEnergy #WindPower #CleanEnergyLeadership #ProjectDevelopment #DirectorRole
