Powering the Utility Industry - Athena Consultancy and Workforce Solutions

Situation

An electric utility heavily invested in renewable energy generation was struggling to find experienced solar and wind project engineers within their constrained budget. The utility needed many engineers with deep expertise in utility-scale renewable energy project engineering to support their growing portfolio of wind and solar initiatives. However, the limited budget made it nearly impossible to attract the number of qualified candidates, leaving critical roles unfilled and projects delayed.
