Job board: International firms scale African recruitment

From the newsletter

In the past week, at least 165 new jobs have been posted in the renewable energy sector across Africa. We have noticed that international firms, led by Engie and Scatec, have continued to scale recruitment on the continent over the past few weeks. Both Engie and Scatec are active in off-grid and grid-tied projects in multiple countries on the continent.

• South Africa continues its dominance in hiring energy experts, with 119 new positions posted, about two-thirds of the job board. East Africa, led by Kenya, follows with Nigeria in West Africa, steadily gaining hiring momentum.  

• As the continent embraces energy storage, our job boards have continued to feature more and more roles of this nature. Ads for O&M managers at utility-scale projects and SCADA engineers are numerous too.
