Hiring in renewable energy is becoming increasingly complex. Whether you are delivering a solar farm, scaling wind operations, or upgrading high-voltage grid infrastructure, one thing is consistent: demand for talent is outpacing supply.
At Navitas Resourcing Group, we support clients across the UK, Europe and the United States with tailored recruitment solutions across wind, solar, BESS, grid and infrastructure. Here are the top three hiring challenges we regularly hear from clients, and how we help solve them.
1. Mobilisation Delays
Many energy projects require urgent onboarding, but talent shortages, poor candidate pipelines and compliance bottlenecks often cause delays.
How Navitas solves this:
- We supply pre-vetted, project-ready professionals
- We manage documentation, mobilisation and right-to-work requirements
- We work quickly while ensuring full compliance
2. Technical Skills Gaps
As clean energy projects become more complex, there is growing demand for engineers, planners and specialists with experience in BESS, HV systems, and grid connections.
How Navitas solves this:
- We identify and map critical skill shortages across the sector
- We engage talent from adjacent sectors
- We focus on cultural and technical alignment, not just job titles
3. Cross-Border Hiring Complexity
With many projects spanning multiple countries, hiring across borders introduces new challenges in compliance, certification and candidate relocation.
How Navitas solves this:
- We support clients operating in the UK, EU and US markets
- We offer localised hiring insight, including salary benchmarks and compliance advice
- We provide a single point of contact to manage multi-country recruitment more efficiently
