It was fantastic working with V7 Recruitment!
Finding a new job in itself is an arduous and stressful task at the best of times, but the people at V7 especially Rob Carney made the whole experience actually enjoyable somehow! Rob showed patience and willing when I was being indecisive, as well as giving me an impartial ear for me to run my thoughts and concerns by, to which he alleviated with his calm and helpful demeanor, leading me to land exactly the job a wanted.
Thank you Rob and the whole team at v7!!

I always feel you should give credit where it is due & Claire has been absolutely amazing throughout!!
From the first phone call we had, I was able to put my full trust into her and she made what could have been a stressful time, an enjoyable journey and experience. Claire was always on hand to answer any questions, resolve any concerns and give her advice to make the whole process smooth whilst also being very relatable & down to earth.
Everything she did was done quickly and efficiently and the level of communication she provided was second to none. Even on days off, she was always available to provide help if needed. I cannot thank Claire enough — a true asset to V7. Excited to see where my new career takes me thanks to you!

Having been searching for a suitable position for six months with constant interviews and promises (that is if they called me back), I was despondent and I was wary of Sam Mordant when he called me regarding a job vacancy.
I clearly had nothing to worry about as he was simply amazing; motivated, supportive, encouraging, reliable and genuinely interested in me as a person. I am now suited in a job which fits me perfectly and Sam is genuinely pleased for me. So glad he called me! Sam is highly recommended. Great service!

Thanks to her efforts, I found a role that perfectly matches my expectations. I highly recommended Ciara!

Discover the top 4 challenges shaping aviation in 2025 - from cybersecurity threats and aircraft delivery delays to workforce shortages and environmental pressures - and explore how the industry is adapting for sustainable growth.
As the world races toward a net-zero future, the renewable energy sector isn’t just growing… it’s exploding . We’re seeing a huge wave of new jobs and a total reshaping of what the global workforce looks like. Whether it’s solar panels on rooftops, offshore wind farms, massive battery installations, or behind-the-scenes digital infrastructure, clean energy is now one of the most exciting and fast-moving industries out there. And the best part? It’s hiring like never before. In the UK alone, jobs in the low-carbon and renewable energy space jumped by 27% between 2020 and 2022. That’s over 272,000 people now working in the sector, growing five times faster than the average UK job market. To keep up with this momentum and hit BIG 2030 targe ts, energy giants like National Grid, SSE Transmission, and SP Energy Networks are calling for a “clean power army.” That means tens of thousands of new roles popping up across the country, from high-tech engineering to policy, operations, and beyond. But with this growth comes one big challenge: a serious need for talent with the right skills . Here are five must-have skill sets that’ll help you thrive in the renewable energy world of 2025: 1. Technical Engineering Know-How Roles in solar, wind, and energy storage rely heavily on both electrical and mechanical engineering . That means everything from designing and maintaining wind turbines to wiring systems or optimising large-scale battery installations. 2. Data Analytics & Energy System Modelling Behind every solar farm and wind turbine is a mountain of data being crunched to make things more efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable. That’s where data analysts and system modelers come in. Whether it’s forecasting power generation, simulating grid performance, or improving storage strategies, these skills are in hot demand. 3. Project Management & Agile Thinking Whether it’s building a new wind farm or upgrading a transmission line, you need people who can lead teams, hit deadlines, and stay flexible when the plan changes… which it will. Project managers with experience in specific methodologies are especially valuable. It’s not just about keeping things on track, it’s about knowing how to adapt fast in a high-stakes environment. 4. Grid Integration & Smart Grid Tech As we integrate more renewables into the energy mix, our power grids need to be smarter and more adaptable than ever. That’s where grid integration specialists come in. They help make sure all these new energy sources actually work together without overloading the system. Understanding smart grids, real-time monitoring, and digital control systems is key here. 5. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) Expertise Renewables like wind and solar don’t always generate power when we need it, which is why energy storage is essential. BESS experts design, operate, and maintain the systems that store excess power and release it when demand spikes. This is one of the fastest-growing areas in energy, and it touches on everything from chemistry and electrical systems to grid regulations and safety compliance. The bottom line? If you’ve got the right mix of technical know-how, are digitally savvy, and a strategic thinker, the renewable energy sector offers incredible career opportunities right now… and it’s only going to grow from here. The clean energy revolution isn’t coming. It’s already here. And the question is: are you ready to power it? Connect with our Specialist Power Generation team today here.
