Renewable Energy Staffing Solutions

Recruiting Laborers
Challenge: Because renewable energy is a relatively new field, there are not many candidates with extensive experience specific to renewable energy. Qualified employees from other sectors often don’t realize that their skills are transferable. Despite increased interest, many potential candidates do not apply for the renewable energy sector because of the lack of understanding of what talent is being searched for.

Solution: Recruiting renewable energy candidates requires companies to expand their network and advertise not only available positions but also skill gaps their company wishes to fill. Renewable energy positions need to be advertised to construction laborers who are new to the industry as well as those who have years of experience in other sectors to draw in qualified staff who don’t know their skills transfer to this industry. As different companies continue to compete with one another, your business also needs to keep up with the competition by offering career development and opportunities. This will help your business retain talent in the years to come as renewable energy laborers are even more in demand.

 

Recruiting Management And Office Staff
Challenge: Management employees are expected to be even more difficult to recruit than laborers. Positions such as engineers, project developers, project managers, legal staff, finance experts, and more are all difficult to recruit. These positions require longer post-secondary education and the increased need for renewable energy is expanding faster than students can get their education. People who already have their education are often already working and building their careers.

Solution: The key to finding strong candidates who are involved in management roles and behind-the-scenes work is to recruit people who already work in the construction industry and who could be persuaded to switch sectors. Another potential strategy is to prioritize long-term investments and encourage more people to go for their post-secondary education in relevant fields. Recruiting new graduates will help renewable energy companies, as finding high-potential candidates early can yield significant long-term benefits. Renewable energy staffing for management or office positions is expected to take increasingly creative advertising from the renewable energy sector. Renewable energy companies that want to find highly qualified management and other office positions should use the resources of a staffing agency, as this will give companies access to a wide candidate pool and professional recruiting and hiring resources.

 

Retention
Challenge: The current generation of young people entering the workforce have less brand loyalty and are not likely to stay with a company unless they are offered incentives throughout their career. Many staff members are not interested in letting their careers stagnate, and instead they search for other opportunities, wherever they may be.

Solution:To help retain employees long-term, companies need to offer incentives for employees to stay. This includes career development opportunities, health benefits, competitive wages, and more. Incentivizing your staff to stay and to not switch sectors later will help you retain staff for years to come. Having two-way communication between laborers and management also helps to address any employee dissatisfaction and quickly relieve the issue.
