Wind and solar projects often receive the most attention, but grid infrastructure is what connects renewable energy to homes, businesses and transport systems. Without a resilient, modern grid, the energy transition cannot be delivered at scale.
In the UK, National Grid has projected a 50 percent increase in transmission capacity by 2030. Across Europe and North America, similar investment is driving demand for skilled professionals who can design, build and manage the infrastructure behind the switch to clean energy.
The Skills Gap in Grid Infrastructure
At Navitas Resourcing Group, we are seeing growing demand for experienced professionals in roles such as:
- HV and MV electrical engineers
- Grid connection managers
- Project planners and cable design specialists
- Control and protection engineers
- Site managers and authorised persons
Many of these roles require specific qualifications, sector experience, and the ability to mobilise quickly. As investment in grid projects accelerates, the gap between demand and supply is becoming more pronounced.
