The renewable project development hiring market right now? A blessing and a curse. Here’s why: The demand for project developers, managers, engineers, and other renewable professionals has skyrocketed. This is fantastic for candidates — they hold all the cards in this unbalanced market. As a relatively new and niche skillset, they’re in such high demand that many can ask for the moon. 🌕 But here’s the frustrating part: ❌ Ghosting after interviews. ❌ Dropping out during the offer stage. ❌ Negotiating compensation packages so far beyond reason that companies simply can’t compete. Sound familiar? Don’t get me wrong — there are amazing professionals out there who are honest, upfront, and genuinely committed to finding the right fit. Working with those candidates is a pleasure. So here’s my take: 💁 Candidates — yes, you’re in high demand, but remember, your reputation follows you. The best opportunities come from building relationships, not burning bridges. 🏢 Companies — to attract the best in this market, get creative. It’s not always about salary. Candidates value flexibility, meaningful projects, and a strong mission, too. 💬 What’s your experience? Have you faced similar challenges in hiring or job hunting in renewables?

𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐋𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞-𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬: 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 Large-scale solar projects are pivotal in our global shift towards sustainable energy. However, successfully staffing these projects requires more than just filling roles—it’s about building teams that can drive innovation and deliver results in a rapidly evolving industry. Here are five best practices I’ve found essential in recruiting for these massive undertakings: 1. Targeted Skill Matching: Large-scale solar projects require a diverse range of expertise, from electrical engineers to project managers. It’s crucial to match specific skills with the right roles, ensuring that each team member brings the technical proficiency necessary for their position. 2. Understanding Regional Regulations: Solar projects often span multiple regions, each with its own regulatory landscape. A deep understanding of local codes, permits, and environmental regulations is essential when recruiting, as compliance can significantly impact project timelines and success. 3. Cultural Fit and Team Dynamics: Beyond technical skills, the success of large-scale projects depends on the ability of the team to work cohesively. Recruiting professionals who not only have the necessary expertise but also fit the cultural and collaborative dynamics of the team is key to maintaining project momentum. 4. Emphasizing Sustainability and Innovation: Candidates who are passionate about sustainability and innovation tend to thrive in the solar energy sector. Highlighting these values during the recruitment process can attract top talent who are driven by more than just a paycheck—they’re committed to making a positive impact. 5. Leveraging Technology in Recruitment: Utilizing advanced recruitment technologies, such as AI-driven platforms, can streamline the process of identifying and attracting the best candidates. These tools can analyze vast amounts of data to match the right professionals with the right roles, saving time and ensuring a higher quality of hire. ________________________________ Looking to optimize your team for a large-scale solar project?

You'd be forgiven for thinking that we have a huge influx of experienced renewable energy development and delivery professionals coming into Australia. Even more so when you consider the number and size of projects currently in development here. A quick look at the job boards confirms the proof of demand from the industry for these niche skill sets. I guarantee you there are even more "off-market" vacancies too. As a hiring organisation, what are you doing to make your opportunity more attractive than your competitors? Lots of Project Development and Delivery roles in the renewable energy sector sound the same on paper, but they aren't. You just need a way to be able to effectively tell the story of your opportunity. Once you've got that, you need someone who can tell that story to the right people, to get them excited about the thought of working for you. I can help you to do both. #renewableenergy #projectdevelopment #renewableenergyjobs

🚀 How to Make Your CV Stand Out in the Renewable Energy Sector 🚀 In the competitive renewables industry, there are countless profiles to choose from. As a freelancer, crafting an outstanding CV is crucial to get noticed and land projects. This is often an overlooked aspect of getting hired and recognized. Here are key elements, from a consultant's perspective, that should be included in your CV: 1. **Clear and Structured Listing** Ensure everything is in order: Duration, Job Title, and Scope of Work. This should present areas like wind farms, tools used, conditions, and specific equipment. 2. **Bullet Points** Under the first rule, list all responsibilities and tasks you completed on the project in bullet points. This format is more digestible for recruiters and companies compared to lengthy paragraphs. 3. **Contact Details** If you are comfortable, display your contact numbers or email addresses prominently at the top of your CV. Also, mention your location and your ability to work in different regions (e.g., if you are based in the UK but can work in the EU). P.S. - If this applies to you, let's connect! 4. **Networking and Persistence** Sending your CV is always a good strategy, even if the opportunity isn't a perfect fit. A good recruiter considers multiple roles and future opportunities. Staying connected helps keep your name in front of recruiters, making you more likely to be identified for various projects. We always look at the bigger picture to understand how your profile can add value to our clients. I thought this would be a great idea because, many people right now have some downtime and can use it to improve their CVs in preparation for a busy 2025! Feel free to share additional tips in the comments below. Let's support each other in progressing toward a net-zero future! Happy Holidays, Edward
