Planning to recruit thousands of new professionals is very different from actually hiring them. AMP 8 and beyond, employers will need to think about attraction methods that will encourage talent to choose water over other sectors.

We aren’t currently involved in the contracting market, but this may change. Being a contractor can certainly be tough, but very rewarding. It’s something many leave until at least a decade or two in their industry. Many do well once they are well connected wise men and women in their fields, as well as more financially stable. For those looking at going into contracting in the future, here are some  basic points you may or may not have considered:  ✅Pros of contracting in the HV field✅ Higher Earning Potential: Contractors often earn more per hour or project, boosting their income. Flexibility: Contractors in some roles can have a bit more control over their schedules (depending on role) as well as project choices, enhancing work-life balance. Diverse Experience: Varied projects expose contractors to different industries and skills. Networking: Working with various clients expands professional networks, creating future opportunities. Imagine how many more good and knowledgeable people you’ll know after working with several organisations per year. Independence: Contractors can enjoy more autonomy and independence in their work (again, depending on the role). ❌Cons of Contracting in the HV sector❌ Uncertainty: Job stability is lower with potential gaps between contracts. The higher day rate may be offset by being out of work from anywhere from one week to a couple months. Benefits and Security: Contractors lack employee benefits like vehicle, health insurance and pension contributions. Self-Employment Responsibilities: Contractors must handle taxes and admin tasks. Limited Job Security: Contractors may be the first to go in downsizing or downturns. Continuous Job Search: Ongoing job hunting and networking are required between contracts. It means more talking to recruiters like myself (though possibly a positive…) This may be nothing new to those thinking about the move to contracting, but could also be a high-level starting point for those early in their journey. I can say that with all the current work and upcoming work (barring bottlenecks) in generation, upgrading the grid, t&d and new connections, this sector is one of the strongest in terms of job flow. #electricalengineering #highvoltage
