The Best Quarter in EnergeiaWorks History

If you’re reading this, you are working in renewable energy. And therefore, I trust you finished the first quarter strong. The perfect wave of renewable energy demand is upon us and it’s now time to execute! EnergeiaWorks just closed the best quarter in company history and we will continue to exceed forecasts for 2021. But we’re not unique in the demand for our professional services. All sectors in the value chain from manufacturing to finance to construction are in demand. It seems everyone in wind, solar, and energy storage is doubling-down on certainty for the next few years by spending money on hiring new top talent. I only hope that our manufacturing supply chain can keep up with the demand.

EnergeiaWorks is the supply chain for human capital.

Where exactly was the demand for talent in Q1? Much of our hiring was in project engineering which accounted for 25% of our placements in the first quarter. This was followed very closely by construction and project development (both at 23%). Operations roles accounted for 18% of our Q1 revenue and 11% came from executive searches in wind, solar, and energy storage.

How can the industry sustain this level of job growth?

Simply, we cannot. In the US employment market, there are 500,000 jobs in wind, solar, and energy storage. That’s not a great amount, but it is growing faster than the rest of the employment market, and very few organizations in our industry are reducing staff. There’s an opportunity to find transferable skills from other industries that are not in such a growth mode. If they check off most of the boxes, and show potential to advance our field, hire them! We can also pull from the passionate population. The educated, eager-to-enact-global carbon-reduction-crowd can also check off many of the intangible and soft skills, so hire them!

What’s a birthday celebration without gifts?!
