Clean-energy workforce gap: How to bridge it with MSP solutions

Powering the Future: The Green Energy Hiring Boom Across the UK, US & Europe As we close out 2025, one industry continues to dominate global hiring — Energy & Utilities, especially renewables. From offshore wind farms in the UK to solar corridors in Texas and hydrogen hubs in Germany and the Netherlands, the clean energy transition is driving a massive workforce shift. According to IRENA, the renewable sector now employs over 16 million people worldwide, up 18% in just two years — with solar, wind, storage, and hydrogen leading the charge. The UK and Europe are expanding fast, thanks to net-zero targets and the EU’s Green Deal Industrial Plan. Meanwhile, the US Inflation Reduction Act has injected over $300 billion into clean energy, creating tens of thousands of high-paying jobs across engineering, project management, data analytics, and ESG. Yet, with this growth comes a challenge — talent shortages. Over 70% of energy employers in the UK and EU report difficulty finding skilled professionals, especially those blending tech and sustainability expertise. At Calyxis Global Solutions, we’re seeing this firsthand — helping renewable and clean tech firms build specialised, future-ready teams that drive sustainable transformation. The message is clear: as we move into the final quarter of 2025, energy isn’t just powering economies—it’s powering opportunity, innovation, and sustainable growth.

The first half of 2025 saw global investment in renewables reach $386 billion. That's a 10% year-on-year rise. And with investment surging 63% across the UK and EU, Europe is leading the way. So what does this mean? For companies, it means competition for talent will intensify. Growth projects will demand skilled teams who can deliver at scale, with the right balance of technical capability and purpose-driven leadership. Meanwhile for candidates, opportunity is abundant. From engineering and project management to policy, finance, and sustainability roles, demand for people who can accelerate the energy transition has never been higher. This is proof that the clean energy workforce is at the heart of global progress. If your business is scaling or you’re a candidate ready to take flight in this growing sector, now is the time to connect. #RenewableEnergy #GreenInvestment #EnergyTransition #GreenJobs #CleanEnergyCareers

Interesting read highlighting Clean Energy: The Fastest-Growing Career Frontier Clean energy jobs are set to double by the end of this decade, driven by rapid investment, new technologies, and global net-zero targets. What’s most exciting isn’t just the growth it’s the transferable opportunities. Many of the skills powering today’s industries are directly relevant to tomorrow’s clean energy economy: ⚙️ Engineering & Construction → renewables, grid upgrades, green infrastructure 🔋 Manufacturing → battery production, EV assembly, hydrogen systems 💻 Data & IT → smart grids, energy analytics, and optimisation 🛢️ Oil & Gas → offshore wind, carbon capture, hydrogen Markets are moving fast, and the ability to adapt and reapply existing expertise has never been more valuable. It’s an incredible time to be part of the transition whether you’re upskilling, hiring, or exploring new opportunities. #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #FutureOfWork #GreenJobs #EnergyTransition

Everyone’s talking about renewables, technology, and policy, but there’s one piece often overlooked, the 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. As global renewable capacity is set to 𝗱𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲 by 2030, industries are competing for the same pool of engineers, technicians, and project professionals. The clean energy race is no longer just about megawatts and investment - it’s about skills, adaptability, and leadership. The real differentiator won’t be only technology. It will be how effectively organizations attract, develop, and empower their talent to deliver on these ambitions. 🌍 The energy transition is a talent transition and the next decade will test how ready we are to scale human capability at the same pace as infrastructure. 🔹 What do you see as the biggest workforce challenge in achieving 𝗻𝗲𝘁-𝘇𝗲𝗿𝗼 by 2050? #RenewableEnergy #EnergyTransition #TalentStrategy #PowerAndUtilities #CleanEnergy #MiddleEast #Sustainability

The clean energy transition will stall without diversity. And the data proves it. Organisations with formal DEI strategies are 22% more likely to be seen as industry leaders. And they attract the calibre of talent needed to deliver on climate goals. 🌎 At SR2 Clean Energy, we work with firms across battery storage, EV, and the wider energy transition to build cultures that are as inclusive as they are innovative. 🤝 Want to learn more?
