Surge in Demand for Energy Workers in Birmingham

Hays Energy, a specialist recruitment consultancy, continues its expansion as it opens a new office in Birmingham. The Birmingham office on St Philips Place joins existing operations in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Bristol, Manchester and London. As home to many of the energy sector’s key employers, Birmingham is the natural choice for the launch of Hays Energy’s next office.

"Opening an office in Birmingham will allow us to provide a better local service to the many industry professionals based in the region", says Mike Morgan, Manager at Hays Energy. A large number of utilities companies are based in the Midlands and workers with experience in this area are in high demand. There are also a number of exciting opportunities to work with some of the industry’s top employers on international projects. The office will be recruiting for positions in a range of sectors, including: power generation, renewable energy, power transmission and distribution, utilities and oil & gas.  

Morgan comments: "The energy industry is experiencing huge growth. Professionals of all disciplines are currently in demand in the region; however, applicants with previous experience in design, construction and maintenance are particularly sought after.  Having an office in the Midlands will ensure that we are able to meet the increased demand for energy workers in the area and find good people jobs with local employers".
