The problems at Fukushima in Japan might have resulted in a decision to put its nuclear new build program on hold but Germany still remains buoyant with upcoming power projects.

Our clients active across the German energy sector advise us that the u-turn on nuclear will simply mean more investment elsewhere to include convention power stations, gas storage and renewable energy technologies.  Hiring has increased significantly in all areas over the last few months and the wide choice of projects available in Germany appears to make it the place to be for aspiring engineers.

We’ve all seen the TV’s apparently popular day-time slash evening property shows highlighting the desire of the rich and successful to flee the bustling Capital, but how does this compare in the world of Engineering and more appropriately to Process Engineers.

Here at Wilde, we’re currently witnessing at first hand the relocation of qualified process guys (and girls!), up North to Aberdeen and down South to London, though primarily the latter.

In some cases, demand in these two locations is such that some employers are now paying highly competitive rates, whilst providing training in new skills, in attempt to attract the engineers they require.

Whilst perhaps it’s still too early to predict the impact this will have on both the Northwest and Midlands job markets; a trend is emerging and we’re left with a probable dilemma.

Who will work in the places in between?

Our business research is indicating that many of those UK engineering consultants that work with local Authority clients are either seeing or are expecting an increase in new commissions.

“There is a strong feeling within the industry, that local authorities have been waiting to see the full effect of government spending cuts, before releasing funding on infrastructure projects which had previously been given the green light.

During this period many have seen deep cuts in their engineering teams; resulting in their having less capability to deliver projects in house.”

This should be good news for many private sector consultants.” John Wilkinson Senior Consultant, 11/06/2011
