The AI infrastructure boom is accelerating across Europe and the US. Funding is flowing, hyperscale projects are moving forward, and demand for data centre capacity continues to rise. But delivery is starting to slow for a different reason: a shortage of specialist engineering talent. Commissioning engineers, MEP leads, HVAC specialists, grid planners and power systems experts are becoming some of the biggest constraints in project delivery. Hiring timelines are stretching, salaries are rising, and pressure is building across both data centre construction and grid infrastructure. The companies staying ahead are no longer treating recruitment as reactive hiring. They are treating workforce strategy as a core part of infrastructure delivery. Here’s why the talent gap is becoming one of the biggest challenges in the AI build-out: #DataCentres #AIInfrastructure #DigitalInfrastructure #EngineeringJobs #WorkforcePlanning #TalentStrategy #GridInfrastructure #Hyperscale #MEP #Commissioning #HVAC #PowerSystems #EnergyInfrastructure #Construction #AI #Infrastructure #Recruitment #ERSG

I rarely say that jobs are "hot" - but this one... oh my! Recruiting a 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫 for a global offshore engineering company with a $1bn+ order book who are opening and growing their new Boston Office. 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Downtown Boston (flexibility regarding travel, hybrid working) 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐲 & 𝐏𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐞: highly competitive and discussed in confidence 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐞: detailed JD available on request [this is not a job that'll be appearing on Indeed], but this is a company that ERSG Ltd has recruited over 750 people for globally and who I've personally worked alongside for over a decade (𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘩, 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴!). A genuinely fantastic opportunity to lead, hire and develop a trusted East Coast team - so anyone who's part of (or going to be part of) current offshore wind layoffs, finishing with Vineyard/Revolution Wind or who previous got the offshore wind bug with the Ocean Winds' portfolio - 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞, get in touch. Thanks 🫡

This Week in Renewables ⚡ From major hydrogen collaboration across the UK and Ireland to growing investment in renewable infrastructure worldwide, here are five developments shaping the energy transition this week. 🇬🇧 Three hydrogen industry bodies align to accelerate UK growth: Hydrogen Scotland, Hydrogen Ireland (H2Irl), and the Hydrogen Energy Association (HEA) have announced a new alliance aimed at accelerating hydrogen growth, strengthening energy security, and supporting a more connected clean energy system across the UK, Ireland, and Europe. https://lnkd.in/e-wsSvRB 🇮🇪 Wind leads Ireland’s electricity mix in April: Wind energy accounted for 38% of Ireland’s electricity generation in April, making it the country’s largest power source for the month. EirGrid also confirmed renewables delivered 48% of total electricity demand, marking the third consecutive month where clean energy supplied around half of the country’s electricity needs. https://lnkd.in/eRjmEj7y ♻️ Renewable energy millions ‘taken out of Wales and invested in Scotland’  Reports this week highlighted concerns over renewable energy funding linked to Welsh wind farm developments being reinvested into unrelated Scottish businesses. https://lnkd.in/eUByRH9V 🇲🇽 Mexico’s renewable energy revival drives major investment: Mexico is seeing renewed momentum across the renewable sector following reforms allowing greater private participation in electricity generation. The country is targeting 22GW of new energy capacity by 2030, with billions being invested into new solar, wind, and battery storage projects. https://lnkd.in/epHrABbu 🇴🇲 Oman signs off-take deal for major hybrid renewable project: O-Green has secured a power off-take agreement for a 2.7GW wind, solar, and battery energy storage project in Oman. https://lnkd.in/eMekSByn Renewable energy continues to grow globally, with new investment and infrastructure helping drive the energy transition forward. From hydrogen collaboration and wind energy milestones to large scale renewable projects, the sector continues to move quickly. #CleanEnergy #EnergyTransition #Renewables #WindEnergy #Hydrogen #SolarEnergy #EnergyStorage #NetZero #EnergyInnovation #SustainableEnergy #ClimateAction #Decarbonisation #FutureOfEnergy #BatteryStorage #GreenEnergy

Germany’s BESS market is reaching a defining moment. The opportunity is enormous, but so is the uncertainty. Over the next 12–18 months, decisions around capacity markets, grid access, fees and co-location rules could determine which battery storage projects remain financeable into the 2030s and which do not. With Germany set to become one of the world’s most important storage markets, the window to position early may be narrower than many expect.
