The difference between carbon neutral and net zero
When it comes to reducing your impact on the environment, there are a number of things you can do. One of the most important is to make sure your home is as energy efficient as possible. But what does that mean? In the UK, the government has set two different standards for homes – carbon […]
Recladding Britain
In the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy, the UK’s construction industry entered a new era of accountability and reform. The government’s building safety programme has reshaped the façades and cladding sector — driving demand for qualified professionals, stringent compliance processes, and safer design standards. For employers and jobseekers alike, this regulatory shift is creating […]
The future of renewable energy jobs in the UK
Renewable hiring across the UK and Europe is set to accelerate through 2030, driven by binding EU and UK policy targets, revived auction rounds, and emerging hydrogen and grid investments. The mix of roles is broadening from pure generation (wind, solar) to grid modernisation, storage, manufacturing, and project controls. For employers, the challenge will be […]
The future of facades
The façade, once considered just an architectural feature — has become one of the most critical components in achieving net-zero buildings. As construction moves toward energy efficiency, sustainability, and safety, façades now sit at the intersection of design, technology, and environmental performance. This evolution is driving a new generation of jobs and skills — and […]
Skills for the Green Transition
As renewable energy investment surges across the UK and Europe, employers are shifting focus from generic “green enthusiasm” to verified, project-ready skills. solarSuccess in this sector depends on proving technical competence, regulatory awareness, and adaptability. This article breaks down the key skills, behaviours, and qualifications employers most value in 2025 — and how candidates can […]
Inside the facades sector
The façade and cladding sector is one of the most dynamic and multidisciplinary areas within modern construction. It combines design precision, materials science, sustainability, and safety — all within an evolving regulatory landscape. Whether you’re an engineer, project manager, or trades professional, façades offer a variety of rewarding and technically engaging career paths. Here’s a […]
Bridging construction and sustainability
The line between construction and sustainability is disappearing and nowhere is that clearer than in the façade sector. Once treated as a finishing trade, façades are now central to how buildings meet net-zero carbon goals. From energy-generating cladding to circular material systems, this is where engineering, renewables, and environmental design converge. For professionals and employers, […]
Why Shift Patterns Are Breaking Your Workforce (and What to Do About It)
When our teammate shared a post on LinkedIn about shift patterns in high-hazard industries, we didn’t expect it to go viral. But with over 40,000 views and a flood of comments, one thing became clear: shift patterns are breaking people and not just physically. In sectors like COMAH, work–life balance isn’t a luxury. It’s a […]
Women in COMAH
In traditionally male-dominated industries like COMAH (Control of Major Accident Hazards), women are steadily breaking barriers and making significant contributions. From leading safety initiatives to innovating in engineering, women are transforming the sector and paving the way for greater diversity and inclusion. As we celebrate International Women in Engineering Day on 23rd June 2025, it’s […]
