AGR expands recruitment and workforce solutions into wind energy

We are proud to announce our expanding involvement in the UK wind energy market through our recruitment and staffing arm, AGR Consultancy.

This expansion builds on our established reputation for delivering high-caliber workforce solutions to energy companies, making us the preferred recruitment and staffing agency for job profiles in Drilling & Wells, Subsurface, HSEQ, cost management, supply chain & procurement, mechanical & electrical engineering, and operations management.

Established in 1992, AGR Consultancy boasts a database of over 11,000 candidates. Expanding our database to include wind energy workforce, we are well-positioned to match the right candidates for wind jobs, with a proven track record from successfully placing workforce in wind energy projects in the UK and the Norwegian North Sea.

Collaboration with renewable consultants

Last year, AGR joined the ABL Group family, and one significant synergy following our integration is our close collaboration with our sister company, OWC, a leader in renewables. OWC combines engineering, consultancy and advisory to support the commercial development and construction of wind power solutions.

Together, we ensure that client wind power projects in the UK develop and proceed without delays due to wind energy workforce shortages.

Recruitment and workforce demand in wind energy on the rise

According to a 2021 analysis by Rystad Energy, workforce demand in offshore wind is expected to rise dramatically in Europe and the UK over the next decade. With installed offshore wind capacity projected to increase to 250 GW by 2030, the demand for wind jobs in Europe is expected to triple.

“Entering the UK wind energy market is a natural progression for our recruitment and staffing team,” said Thomas V. Saue, General Manager at AGR Consultancy Europe (pictured). “For over three decades, we have been at the forefront of recruiting and sourcing expert skills for the energy sector, having placed more than 4,000 professionals in over 100 locations worldwide.

We will apply the same successful model and personalised approach to our consultants, helping them excel in their careers as we deliver recruitment and staffing solutions for wind energy.

Collaborating with OWC has already yielded significant benefits for our clients, and we are excited to continue supporting the growth of the UK renewable energy sector with our expertise and extensive candidate database.”
