Green Recruitment

New Salary Guide 2025

"Ireland’s clean energy transition is accelerating, with wind energy at its heart. The Climate Action Plan 2024 sets an ambitious target of delivering 9 GW of onshore and at least 5 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030.This scale of ambition demands a highly skilled and adaptable workforce, with the Skills for Zero Carbon report identifying the need for over 20,000 additional workers in the zero-carbon economy by the end of the decade. In offshore wind alone, the Green Tech Skillnet report and the DFHERIS Offshore Wind Skills Action Plan highlight that Ireland must develop a strong talent pipeline across a wide range of disciplines – from engineering, maritime operations and project management to health & safety, environmental planning, grid integration and digitalisation. Opportunities exist nationwide, and the sector offers long-term, sustainable careers that will power not only our energy future but our economic resilience. Wind Energy Ireland is working closely with industry, Government, and education providers to ensure Ireland is ready to meet this challenge – unlocking the full potential of a net-zero workforce."
