Global Warming and the diminishing supply of fossils fuels are two major issues around the world at the moment, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. Eventually the fossil fuels will run out, and no matter who is to blame for global warming, one thing that cannot be argued is that it is happening. Add this to the global recession and it seems that the world is in a bit of a pickle....However, are there some benefits that are coming from the increased panic surrounding the lack of fossil fuels and our damaged environment that could help to ease the effect of the recession on some fortunate individuals. Renewable energy awareness is rapidly growing, and there are a number of employment sectors that could benefit from its sudden boom. The renewable energy sector is crying out for suitably qualified engineers. So if you  are an electrical or mechanical engineer who is interested in rejuvenating your career then look no further than the fastest growing sector in recent years.
 
So if you want to make your career more sustainable then look no further than renewable energy as the ideal place to start, if we have whet your appetite for renewable energy jobs we are here to help and advise you.

Are environmental associations holding up renewable development unnecessarily?
18 June 2009

Renewable Energy currently seems to sell itself based on its environmental credentials as much as on its commercial viability. This is of course an important distinction while it remains the more expensive energy option but is it really integral to product?


I would imagine that many of the original innovators were driven by a desire to make a difference to the environment but surely renewable energy will only take over as the mainstream once it can be shown to be a practical, cost effective alternative?


I love the feeling of working within an industry that aims to make a difference but it’s a pity that this results in having to deal with far more criticism from other sectors claiming that renewable energy is the brain child of bleeding heart liberals and can only survive with massive state hand outs. Yes we need a helping hand now but ultimately the idea is surely that this will result in a new generation of products that will primarily aim to give oil and gas a run for their money with their environmental benefits becoming more of positive side effect.
 

Sharing Spouses

As a resourcer that is new to the industry I am always thinking of new ways to find the Right Renewable Candidates for the Right Renewable Job. The unfortunate thing, however, is that quite often the right people aren’t always available. This is an all too familiar situation for many recruiters, but there might be a solution that is closer to those ‘right’ candidates than expected. Over the past month I have consistently found that although the candidates I have phoned about a role might not be available, their ‘other halves’ often are, and even more importantly, they are from similar backgrounds to those I phoned in the first place. Is this the future of Renewable Energy Recruitment and lead generation? Probably not, but it does add another string to a Recruiters bow.
