A hydroelectric engineer helps build, maintain and repair facilities that produce hydroelectric power - such as dams and substations. Hydropower uses water to produce electricity. Hydroelectric engineers are still in demand with employers, including energy firms, utilities providers and even research institutions.
Hiring managers will likely look to enlist the services of a specialist recruitment agency for this type of role, namely those with expertise in the energy, engineering and construction markets. If the vacancy is being filled within a government organisation, then a public sector recruiter may also be considered.
