The growth of renewable energy initiatives is good for organizations and the world itself. Organizations are taking the help of renewable energy recruitment consultants to stay ahead in the race. Also, governments and organizations today are becoming watchdogs of energy management initiatives and the single largest contributor that can help with such management is the increased use of renewable energy and innovations that make managing it a lot easier.

But these are easier said than done, because the utilization of renewable energy comes with its own set of challenges, such as resource planning, more efficient methods of harnessing energy, and monitoring the consumption and use of renewable energy. Another challenge is that renewable sources are numerous such as solar, wind, hydro etc. and there are different techniques to manage each.

What We Do

The renewable energy sector is not as popular worldwide as it is in some places, for obvious reasons, a resource being in abundance there.

This is why availing the services of one of the top renewable energy recruitment consultants could make a big difference.

Each team will be working on one aspect of the operations. If this should happen, recruitment cannot be carried out in a silo. In fact, depending on a renewable energy recruitment agency helps to make sure that the people you recruit not only have the right attitude but also work very well in a team. There needs to be managers and leaders to make sure that your investment bears the results you want it to. Through executive search services, we will find the best leaders for your teams.

Educational Qualifications: A degree in mechanical or electrical engineering with experience in any one form of renewable energy generation and support will be very useful.
Turbine Technician
A turbine technician is focused on the wind and hydro forms of energy where the turbine plays a very crucial role, that of converting the kinetic energy from the water or wind into electrical energy, and it is later stored in a battery for use later. He/she is responsible for maintaining, repairing and restoring a wind or water turbine. Educational Qualifications: A diploma in mechanical or electrical disciplines will be very useful. Experience in repairing and restoring wind turbines is very valuable.
Energy Manager
The role of an energy manager is to plan, regulate and monitor the energy use in an organization or a building.

Top Government Initiatives

1

PM Surya Ghar

This scheme was started with the intention of installing solar panels on the rooftops of 1 crore houses across India by starting with the houses of the poor and those who belong to the middle class. Appeals for such installations can be made on the official website of PM Surya Ghar.

2

500 GW Renewable Energy Target by 2030

The initial target was set to 2030. But given the increased electricity consumption and solar and wind power installations not keeping track with the yearly targets set by the government, the estimated date for 500 GW renewable energy target has been moved to 2030.


3

National Green Hydrogen Mission

The National Green Hydrogen Mission could be the solution we are looking for as a country and what the world can learn from, too. India wants to accelerate the deployment of green hydrogen as a clean energy source and develop supply chains that can efficiently transport and distribute hydrogen.

4

Solarization of Modhera

The solarization of Modhera is a first step towards making India self-sufficient in energy, by first investing in developing solar energy. Modhera is a village in Gujarat which receives a lot of sunlight and the government used solar panels and linked them to a grid to power the entire village.


5

Extension of Rooftop Solar Program

The RTS or Rooftop Solar Program has been extended to 2026 after the target of 40GW installed capacity was not met in 2022.
