Energy

The UK energy sector is transforming to meet net-zero goals, reduce carbon emissions, and adopt cleaner energy sources. This shift requires rethinking how energy is produced and managed, with a focus on renewable energy, infrastructure improvements, and creating a “digital grid” to handle various power sources. With a large workforce already in place, there’s a growing demand for new engineering talent to help shape the future of energy.

Challenges we can help you with

1Attracting and Screening Engineering Talent

The energy sector faces a shortage of skilled engineers and technical professionals. You need a partner who can find and carefully screen top engineering talent to meet your long-term workforce goals.

Your energy projects have changing demands, requiring workforce solutions that can scale. With flexible workforce options, including Statement of Work (SOW) solutions, you can adjust to project needs efficiently.

4Strengthening Your Employer Brand (EVP) to Attract Top Talent

A strong Employer Value Proposition (EVP) is key to attracting the best talent in the energy sector. We work with you to showcase what makes your company unique, building an EVP that aligns with your mission and values.

5Reducing Time to Hire for Hard-to-Fill Roles

Hiring for specialised roles can be time-consuming, especially in the competitive energy industry. We streamline the hiring process to reduce time to hire, ensuring you get the talent you need faster.

6Upskilling for Digital Transformation in Energy

As the energy sector adopts new technology, upskilling is essential. We provide training to ensure your team is equipped for digital transformation, driving innovation in your operations.

Shaping the Future of Nuclear: A Conversation with Jenifer Avellaneda

From Passion to Profession Jenifer’s enthusiasm for nuclear energy is contagious. She describes her role at Westinghouse as a commitment to something bigger than just a job.“Everybody shares the same passion,” she says. “It’s not just another day of work. People are excited to take on challenges, mentor others, and collaborate across departments.” That shared enthusiasm fosters an environment of continuous learning, with employees encouraged to expand their knowledge and skills across diverse areas. Jenifer exemplifies this spirit as she balances her full-time role while pursuing a Master’s degree. Though demanding, the combination of challenge and support makes her journey rewarding. Breaking the Myths Around Nuclear One of Jenifer’s missions is to debunk common misconceptions surrounding nuclear energy. Through her social media platform on X as Nuclear Hazelnut, she engages with the public, offering clarity on common concerns and correcting misinformation. “If I had a magic wand, I would erase the negative and false narratives about nuclear,” she says. “We need to engage in open conversations. Most questions are easy for industry professionals to answer; it’s about making the information accessible.” Jenifer advocates for transparency, urging nuclear professionals to engage openly and invite the public into the discussion, “We need to stop shutting the windows and start opening the doors.” The Future of Nuclear: Innovation and Expansion Jenifer envisions nuclear energy as a cornerstone of the clean energy transition. From small modular reactors to fusion research and even space exploration, the possibilities seem endless. “The industry is evolving quickly,” she shares. “I can’t wait to see a micro-reactor in my neighbourhood or in commercial buildings.” However, for nuclear to reach its full potential, the industry must continue attracting new talent from diverse fields. Jenifer is particularly passionate about helping people from all sectors - including marketing, communications, and finance - recognise that nuclear isn’t just for engineers. “There are so many career paths in nuclear,” Jenifer says. “It’s not just about science and engineering - it’s an industry that needs experts in all fields. People often don’t realise that.” Join the Nuclear Renaissance With a global push for clean energy, nuclear innovation is at the forefront, and the need for collaboration and talent has never been greater. Whether you’re an engineer, communications expert, policymaker, or project manager, the nuclear industry needs your skills. Any questions about nuclear? We have a team who are just as passionate - contact us! -- Watch the full interview here.
