OP Renewables

A big trend we’re seeing in the renewables space is the shift to 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬-𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠. Clients are moving away from strict requirements like 'X years in solar or 'specific degree' and focusing more on practical skills - things like adaptability, problem-solving, and the ability to work across various areas. This broadens the talent pool significantly and opens the door for people from other sectors like manufacturing, oil & gas, and utilities to make the leap into renewables.

Director of BD - Data Centers and Healthcare - Remote, US. Last year OP Renewables partnered with a global leader in building technology and services to support a key commercial expansion. They needed two Director-level BD hires focused on selling EaaS to the hospitality sector, and we successfully delivered both. That project built a strong working relationship, and they’ve now asked us to lead the search for the next strategic hire: a Director of Business Development focused on healthcare and data center clients. The role sits within a fast-growing commercial division, built around a strong as-a-service offering and a large existing client base. The focus is senior relationship development, long-term service agreements, and opening doors at the top level. If you have a strong network in healthcare or data centers and a background in strategic, consultative sales, I’d be interested in speaking with you. James Pinder

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐲𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥. We're seeing energy developers actively hunt for engineers who can architect these resilient systems, especially those with hands-on experience designing solar + gas + storage solutions for mission-critical infrastructure. If you've built hybrid generation models or led delivery on complex energy projects, let's talk. The market's moving fast 💨

Developers who navigate interconnection queues, grid constraints, and utility coordination accelerate delivery by months. Those who don't? They're stuck waiting and bleeding budget! The market knows it. Engineers with real interconnection battle scars are commanding premium rates because they solve problems before they become project killers. Your next hire should have grid interconnection experience. It's the difference between on-time delivery and million-dollar delays.

𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 💥 In renewable energy, technology is only half the story.. government incentives, regulation, and industrial strategy often determine how fast the transition actually happens. In the U.S, we’re seeing the impact of federal incentives, evolving regulation, and industrial policy shaping where and how renewable projects get built. Globally, frameworks like the ASEAN plan to boost renewable electricity to 45% by 2030 show how coordinated strategy can transform entire regions. Why it matters: ◾ Renewables are 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥-𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞. Policy can make or break a project’s economics. The right incentives don’t just accelerate deployment, they also build local supply chains, manufacturing, and jobs. What to watch: ◾ How changes to tax credits and subsidies reshape project pipelines ◾ Trade and tariff decisions, especially around solar and wind components ◾ Permitting and grid connection reforms that could unlock (or delay) gigawatts of clean energy Policy isn’t just paperwork - it’s the foundation of the energy transition. 👉 How confident are you that current policies will deliver the scale of renewables we need by 2030?
