A hydroelectric engineer helps build, maintain and repair facilities that produce hydroelectric power - such as dams and substations. Hydropower uses water to produce electricity and it is expected to remain the world’s largest source of renewable energy until at least the 2030s. As a result, 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.
