The UK’s transition to clean energy is accelerating. But without skilled employees, progress will slow. Strong, industry-wide partnerships are helping to close that gap and build a future-ready sector.
Energy & Utility Skills has partnered with Ganymede Solutions, a leading recruitment provider across infrastructure and transportation. The partnership brings together sector insight and delivery expertise to support the development of a safe, skilled and sustainable labour force.
Bringing expertise together
Ganymede Solutions specialises in recruitment across complex, safety-critical industries. With a strong track record in infrastructure and transport, the organisation supports clients with recruitment, training and planning to meet evolving operational demands.
Through this partnership, Ganymede Solutions gains access to sector-leading insight, industry data and collaborative forums. This strengthens its ability to anticipate skills gaps, support clients and build long-term, sustainable talent pipelines.
Skills for the Future
This shared approach becomes even more important as demand continues to rise. As the UK works towards 95 per cent clean energy by 2030, the sector must have the people and skills needed for the future.
Energy & Utility Skills represents more than 70 organisations employing over 200,000 people across the energy, utilities and waste sectors. Through research, skills development and policy influence, it plays a central role in shaping the talent needed to deliver net zero.
By working closely together, both organisations can better understand evolving skills requirements and support industry solutions that meet both current and future needs.
Collaboration that drives impact
Turning insight into action is a key focus of this partnership. Ganymede Solutions will engage in industry working groups, contribute to research and collaborate on initiatives designed to attract, develop and retain talent.
This includes supporting programmes that widen access to the sector and promote long-term career opportunities, helping to build a more inclusive and sustainable skill base.
Damian Ciesielski, Energy Development Director at Ganymede Solutions, said,
“With a strong track record in infrastructure and transport, the organisation supports clients with fully managed workforces, recruitment and training to meet evolving operational demands. Ganymede have a unique approach using our behavioural scientists to help engineers deliver a better customer experience.”
Steve Barrett, Director of Membership and Strategic Engagement at Energy & Utility Skills, added:
“Partnerships like this are essential if we are serious about building a workforce that can meet the demands of net zero. By working closely with organisations like Ganymede Solutions, we can better understand where the gaps are, share insight and take practical steps to strengthen skills across the sector.”
Developing Future Talent
As the sector continues to evolve, maintaining this level of collaboration will be critical. By bringing together insight, expertise and shared ambition, partnerships like this help ensure the industry is equipped for the challenges ahead.
