The renewable energy sector is expanding at an unprecedented rate, and with it comes an ever-growing demand for skilled wind energy professionals. As more wind farms come online, the challenge isn’t just generating clean energy – it’s ensuring the right talent is in place to build, maintain and optimise these projects.
According to the Global Wind Organisation (GWO), by 2028, the world will need over 532,000 trained technicians to support the growing wind energy sector. These professionals are essential for keeping turbines operational, performing critical maintenance and repairs, and ensuring wind farms operate safely and efficiently. Their expertise directly impacts energy output, equipment longevity and overall project success.
The growing challenge of skilled labour in wind energy
Finding qualified personnel in the wind energy sector is no small feat. Regulatory changes, such as IR35 in the UK, have reshaped employment structures and the technical requirements for wind energy professionals continue to evolve. Technicians must hold the correct GWO certifications and specialised training to meet industry standards and operate safely.
Over the past decade, demand for skilled labour in renewables has surged, driven by net-zero targets and increased investment in wind power. As the industry accelerates, companies need a resourcing partner that can keep pace – ensuring the right expertise is available when and where it’s needed.
