PROFESSIONAL SERVICES SECTION SPONSOR TRANSFERABLE SKILLS
In the rapidly growing renewable energy market companies can often feel that finding talented staff is almost impossible. However, they may not have considered that the vast majority of the skills gained in conventional power or energy market can readily be transferred.
OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS SECTOR
Take for example the recent sharp increase in offshore wind jobs. Many of the wind energy firms will accept applications from engineers and technicians that have been working in the offshore oil and gas sector. These individuals already have the understanding of what it takes to work in the exacting conditions of the North Sea along with the subsea technical aspect gives them the transferable knowledge and skill sets that are required in the offshore wind industry.
EXPANDING GAP
The consistently expanding gap between the people required to work in the new energy sector and the personnel available is set to increase further as more offshore arrays are added. This will undoubtedly increase the need for similarly experienced personnel.
By adapting their CV, and truthfully highlighting the areas of work that relate directly to offshore or onshore wind generation, candidates can enhance their chances of securing a position.
For example an electrical engineer or technician that already has some experience working offshore on the oil and gas platforms may already have experience in control systems such as Allen Bradley, Rockwell or Siemens S7. These are transferable skills and need including on their CV so that when companies and technical recruiters are searching for candidates their CV will appear at the top of the search results.
The same goes for onshore wind and other areas of the renewable energy market such as wnergy from waste, biofuel, anaerobic digestion or biomass. Candidates have to be sure that the person reading the CV can easily see their transferable skills.
