A strong Q1 hiring result can unravel quickly if retention isn't part of the same conversation.

The signals can show up well before someone actually resigns: quiet disengagement, a role someone has outgrown, or workload creeping past what was agreed.

The resignation is visible. The risk often isn't.

The next one-to-one is a better time to ask what's changed than the exit interview.

If any of this sounds familiar, don't wait for the resignation to confirm it. Talk to us about retention risk.

Transmission & Distribution is where the renewable energy talent shortage is hitting hardest.

Our 2026 Renewable Energy Remuneration Report found T&D salary growth running at 5-10% this year, the strongest increase of any specialism in the sector. It's being driven by a genuine shortage of experienced transmission and substation engineers, and professionals in this space report some of the highest satisfaction in the market because pay has largely kept pace. The risk sits with any employer whose offer hasn't moved at the same rate.

Make sure your team's pay is still competitive. Get in touch with our T&D specialists: https://phillipriley.pulse.ly/mmdg2xlvlc

Finance might be the most overlooked pressure point in renewable energy hiring right now.

Most of the market saw salary increases land close to what people expected this year, but Finance didn't follow that pattern. Our 2026 Renewable Energy Remuneration Report found 92% of Finance professionals expected a pay rise, while only 64% actually received one.

That's a real gap, and the report flags it directly as a retention risk: professionals who feel their pay isn't keeping pace are increasingly open to exploring roles where it does.

If you're in Finance and want to know exactly where you stand, or you're an employer wondering if this is already costing you talent, get your role or your team benchmarked against the report.

Most professionals across renewable energy aren't actively applying anywhere right now. That doesn't mean they're off the market.

We've built a database of over 124,000 candidates across more than 16 years specialising exclusively in renewable energy recruitment. That depth means we're often already in conversation with the person you need, long before they're actively applying anywhere.

If you're hiring for a hard-to-fill role, that head start matters.

Development hiring has changed.

Salary still matters, but it is no longer the whole conversation.

Project confidence, leadership, flexibility and long-term pipeline are now shaping how Development professionals assess their next move.

For employers, that means attraction needs to go well beyond remuneration.

For candidates, it means commercial awareness, stakeholder capability and broader project lifecycle exposure are becoming harder to ignore.
