The Aberdeen Renewable Engineering Market
Aberdeen is the one UK renewables market where the candidate pool mostly did not start in renewables. Decades of offshore oil and gas built a population of engineers, project managers and offshore-competent technicians within a few miles of the harbour, and the energy transition has been moving them across — into floating offshore wind, into the city’s existing offshore wind development, and into the marine and subsea work both sectors share. For a hiring manager that is an advantage and a trap: the transferable competence is genuine, but a candidate who has never worked to a wind warranty regime or a renewables availability contract will need that explained, not assumed.
