Wind Energy
The UK’s wind energy industry will play a pivotal role in meeting the government’s renewable energy targets to move towards a more sustainable future. With the UK having joined the EU initative, we intend to have 15 per cent of all energy being from renewable sources by 2020 - the UK renewable market is on the increase!
The UK is already a European leader in harnessing the wind’s energy yet our industry will need to continue to expand considerably to reach the targets set. With over £50 billion investment required to reach this goal, the market will rely on more creative innovation, continued product development and a devoted pool of niche skilled workers. This rapid expansion will create challenges in many areas such as technology, transport, power grid connection and maintenance. The only solution: to continuously support the industry with a thriving, expert workforce.
SRG Engineering, like the Carbon Trust, sees wind energy as an essential new industry and are poised to provide diverse recruitment services to renewable companies, large and small alike, to assist with the rapid increases in all aspects of the field, from development right through to manufacture and maintenance. It is forecast that the number of employees in the UK wind energy industry could increase more than 10-fold by 2020 – that’s around 57,000 people. We can help support this expansion - here is a sample of the types of role we can help you recruit for:
- Project Engineers
- Project Managers
- Wind Farm Manager
- GIS Technicians
- Energy Managers
- Operations / Maintenance technicians
- On Shore & Off Shore Roles

- Design Engineers
- Mechanical Engineers
- Construction Engineers
- Electrical Engineers
- SCADA Engineers
- Power System Analyst
- Grid Engineers

With much of the UK coastline already well stocked with turbines is the future off-shore, despite the relatively higher costs versus onshore projects?
