The Newcastle Renewable Engineering Market
The North East’s renewables base runs along the Tyne and up to Blyth, and it is more industrial than most of the sector. Subsea cable manufacturing, the offshore renewable energy test and research facilities at Blyth, and the Dogger Bank operations base on the Tyne give the region a concentration of electrical, cable and commissioning engineering that is rare outside the oil and gas provinces. The hiring pattern reflects it: more permanent engineering roles and fewer rotational ones than the Humber, and a pool that often has heavy-industry rather than energy backgrounds and has to be assessed on transferable competence.
