To Do List

Get a job in the energy sector

The demand for renewable energy in Surrey is creating many job opportunities in the local economy. But we currently lack enough installers and assessors to meet the demand for installations of insulation and new energy-efficient technology, so there are lots of opportunities to upskill and retrain, no matter what your level of experience is.
Over the last year, collaboration across Surrey organisations has created excellent opportunities to retrain individuals into new energy-focused roles.

Funding from Greater South East Energy Hub, delivered via SCC, has allowed partners like East Surrey College to upskill heating engineers for heat pump installation, Community Energy South to provide Fuel Poverty training to frontline services who support residents struggling with bills, and Zero Carbon Guildford to deliver free home energy surveys through the Home Energy Advice Team. It doesn't matter whether your motivation is helping your local community with their energy bills or starting a business. There are a range of benefits to upskilling yourself, including:

  • Earning extra money: It doesn’t matter if you've never worked in the energy sector. You can gain hands-on experience whilst getting paid with one of Surrey's Energy Champion groups.
  • Being ready for more job opportunities: Upgrade your existing skillsets to be open to more opportunities. You can even work around existing job commitments and learn in your spare time!
  • Using the knowledge and skills to upgrade your own home and save money.
