Renewable Energy | Positioning yourself effectively within Japan

Are you an energy professional considering career opportunities in Japan's renewable energy industry? In this article, LVI Associates explores key trends, opportunities, and expert insights shared during a recent webinar, providing valuable tips to propel your career in this burgeoning field. โ€‹The Landscape of Japan's Renewable Energy MarketThe driving force behind the surge in renewable energy adoption is multifaceted, ranging from addressing global warming concerns to the pursuit of energy security. Issues such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, a shift away from traditional nuclear power, and stagnant progress in nuclear applications are steering the demand for geothermal, solar, and wind power. Additionally, favorable government initiatives and advancements in renewable energy technology have contributed to the sector's expansion. Industry Insights: Opportunities Across Sectors Solar Power: Japan is emerging as a global solar energy leader, propelled by supportive government policies. The Japanese Environment Ministry's proposal to add a substantial 20 GW of annual solar power by 2030 positions the country among the top solar energy markets globally [i]. The adoption of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and the new FIP policy is further accentuating the growth potential. Wind Power: With a cumulative installed capacity of 4.80 GW in 2022, Japan is committed to a CAGR exceeding 14% from 2022 to 2035 [ii]. Offshore wind projects, driven by advancements in turbine size, supply chain enhancement, grid connectivity, and significant foreign investments, position Japan as a key player in the global offshore wind market. Energy Storage: As intermittent renewable energy sources gain prominence, energy storage solutions like batteries become essential. The Japanese government's commitment, including a substantial $1.8 billion in subsidies for storage-related projects, underlines the strategic importance of energy storage in stabilizing the grid and facilitating renewable energy integration [iii]. Hydrogen: Japan's decarbonization strategy involves clean coal and hydrogen alongside nuclear power. The government's plan to generate $107 billion in funding for hydrogen supply over the next 15 years highlights the pivotal role hydrogen plays in Japan's energy transition [iv]. Government Initiatives and Talent Demand: A Symbiotic Relationship The Japanese government's ambitious renewable energy targets for 2030, aiming for 36-38% of power supplies to be from renewables, have profound implications for companies and talent demand. Changes in government policies and regulations steer market dynamics, emphasizing the critical need for industry players to stay abreast of even minor regulatory shifts. These policy changes also shape talent needs in the industry. For instance, the transition from the feed-in tariff (FIT) regime to the FIP regime creates a demand for professionals experienced in FIP, non-FIT, and cPPA. The current trends in the Japanese solar and wind energy industry highlight a growing demand for experienced business development candidates and project originators. These professionals play a crucial role in bringing in new projects, investors, and staying attuned to evolving policies and regulations, thereby steering company projects in the right direction. Compensation Trends: Beyond Cash Benefits The energy industry's traditional salary perceptions are undergoing a transformation as subsidies and investments flow into renewable technologies. While compensation remains important, job seekers are increasingly prioritizing non-monetary benefits. In addition to base salaries and bonuses, companies are offering retirement allowances, RSU stock benefits, housing support, extended paid leaves, and various other perks. Flexible work arrangements, such as improved work-from-home policies, are becoming more prevalent, with international companies leading the way in providing flexibility. Some even offer benefits like company cars, flight tickets for travel to home countries, or weekly Shinkansen round trip tickets, setting them apart in a competitive hiring market. Transitioning into the Industry: Unlocking Transferable Skills For professionals considering a transition into the renewable energy sector, the industry welcomes diverse backgrounds. Globally, offshore wind candidates often hail from the offshore oil and gas industry, leveraging transferable skills applicable to renewable projects. In Japan, where offshore oil and gas production history is limited, companies seek talents from related fields such as port and harbour infrastructure construction, marine architecture, steel manufacturing, and heavy electrical machinery manufacturing. This openness provides opportunities for individuals with transferable skills and a keen interest in renewable energy. Transferable Skills in Demand: A Holistic Approach The renewable energy sector's growth creates numerous opportunities, and industry players are keen on accessing transferable skills. Professionals from the oil and gas industry find their skills in high demand, especially those with experience in project management and construction. Engineers from an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) background are valued for their ability to manage large-scale infrastructure projects. Other sought-after skills include logistical expertise, which is crucial for supply chain management, and soft skills that align with a company's culture. Transferable skills are a key focus for companies seeking candidates from diverse backgrounds. Navigating Growth Opportunities As the renewable energy industry in Japan continues to expand, professionals can capitalize on the wealth of opportunities by staying informed, understanding industry trends, and cultivating transferable skills. The sector's growth creates distinct career stages: 1-2 years: Associate/Junior roles 3-5 years: Senior/Team Leader/Project Engineer roles 5-10 years: Transition to management roles - Project Manager/Project Director/BD Manager 10+ years: Leadership roles - GM/Directors/Senior Managers The renewable energy industry's growth in Japan presents exciting opportunities for career advancement. Whether you're a seasoned professional or considering a career change, understanding the industry's nuances, staying updated on market trends, and showcasing transferable skills can unlock a rewarding and impactful career in Japan's thriving renewable energy sector. โ€‹Browse our opportunities and seek guidanceEntering a new industry can be challenging, but with the right guidance, professionals can navigate this transition successfully. Research is key, and reaching out to industry experts can provide valuable insights. New Renewable Energy roles in JapanLooking to hire Renewable Energy talent? Request a call back

Addressing Australia's Engineering Talent Shortage: Practical Approaches Image

Addressing Australia's Engineering Talent Shortage: Practical Approaches

The shortage of skilled engineers in Australia is a pressing concern shared by everyone involved in infrastructure development. This deficit is hampering the country's ability to execute crucial infrastructure projects effectively. KPMG's Annual Leadership Survey underscores a major worry among leaders, with up to 77% losing sleep over the challenge of finding the right talent. Similarly, a report by Professionals Australia titled โ€œEngineering a Better Futureโ€ estimates a shortfall of 200,000 engineering professionals. Elizabeth Pugh, Associate Director at LVI Associates Australia, shares her insights on this engineering profession gap and delves into how organisations can overcome it by leveraging international talent. Read about her observations below:There's a general consensus that international engineers play a crucial role in bridging the immediate skill gap. However, the focus on nurturing local talent through education and enhancing the profession's appeal is equally important for long-term solutions. The debate intensifies around optimally utilising overseas talent, with barriers still in place. Dr. Maryam Raji from Melbourne University's Faculty of Business and Economics emphasises the need for educational reforms and increased professional attractiveness to develop local talent. She refers to Engineering Australiaโ€™s report to the Department of Home Affairs, which reveals that 70% of engineers in Australia are international-born, yet many are either unemployed or not working in their field. My experience as a professional services engineering recruiter in Australia confirms this. Frequently, international engineers with extensive global experience are overlooked due to their lack of familiarity with Australian building codes and regulations. Common reasons for rejection include: Time constraints: Firms often lack the time to train new hires on local regulations due to pressing project deadlines.Fear of talent loss: Concerns that trained engineers might leave for competitors.Negative assumptions: Doubts about international engineers' ability to adapt to local market regulations.As a practical and business-oriented manager, I understand these concerns, but it's clear that Australia could better leverage international engineering talent. A national, or even organisational-wide, integrated strategy could help to address these challenges.Solutions include:Conversion courses: Creating a mandatory framework for educating and testing experienced engineers on Australian building and regulatory requirements, similar to initiatives in healthcare and legal sectors.Positive workplace culture for retention: Ensuring a supportive work environment is essential for retaining all employees, regardless of their origin.Dispelling myths: Recognising the value of international engineers who have successfully adapted and contributed in various countries, including Australia.In short, there are likely many other viable solutions to this persistent and growing issue. What other strategies could effectively address Australia's engineering talent gap? My team and I at LVI Associates welcome any additional insights or suggestions, and if you are facing challenges attracting top talent, please do not hesitate to get in touch.โ€‹โ€‹Elizabeth PughAssociate Director - AustraliaAssociate Director - Elizabeth, heads up the Australian and Southeast Asian Engineering talent space. She and her team are well-versed in the nuanced requirements of the region and are well-equipped to help organisations across all parts of engineering businesses.

Smaller firms might offer a wider range of responsibilities, leading to faster career growth. Larger corporations may provide more specialised roles and access to extensive resources. Think about how the company's size and structure fit your career objectives.Professional Development and TrainingProfessional growth is crucial for your career.

Turning Winds into Wealth - Vietnam's Green Energy Revolution

โ€‹Amidst the global push for sustainable energy solutions, Vietnam has found itself at a crossroads with a unique opportunity. A recent World Bank study has unveiled the potential for Vietnam to become a leader in clean wind energy. Predicting an increase in offshore wind power capacity ranging from 11 to 25 gigawatts (GW) by 2035, the nation stands on the brink of an energy transformation that could reshape its energy landscape, drive economic growth, and build a green workforce.ย Strategic Policy Framework: Guiding the Course of ProgressVietnam's journey towards renewable energy dominance hinges on its government's ability to enact and implement forward-thinking policies. The World Bank underscores policy formulation as the catalyst for this transformation. A successful navigation of this landscape could lead to an industry boom, generating not only sustainable energy but also economic prosperity and sustainable development.ย From Megawatts to Modeling: Transforming Energy DynamicsThe study envisions an impressive goal: achieving 25 GW of wind capacity by 2035, capable of meeting 12% of Vietnam's electricity demands. Beyond bolstering energy security, this achievement could position Vietnam as a global model for effective utilisation of renewable resources. The nation could set a powerful example of how natural assets can be harnessed for national progress.ย Economic Winds of Change: A Potential USD 50 Billion BoostThe economic implications are as significant as the environmental ones. The World Bank study forecasts that reaching the 25 GW wind capacity mark could infuse Vietnam's economy with a whopping USD 50 billion. Beyond figures, this financial surge could invigorate local supply chains, creating numerous skilled jobs across various sectors and fostering economic growth.ย Green Careers Afloat: Riding the Wind Energy WaveVietnam's surge into offshore wind energy creates a sea of opportunities for its workforce. The nation's move towards renewable energy opens doors for careers in wind power supply chains, offshore wind skill development, and even emerging fields like green hydrogen production.ย A Holistic Approach to Progress: Beyond Remuneration TrendsRenewable energy job benefits in Vietnam encompass not just income and company benefits, but also a sense of purpose in contributing to a greener world. In addition to the job security and salary associated with a green energy career, individuals can take pride in knowing that their work is helping to reduce pollution and fight climate change. This can be an extremely rewarding experience and adds further incentive to pursue a career in green energy. โ€‹Strategic Positioning: Catching the WaveVietnam's advantageous position cannot be overstated.

As the global energy landscape shifts towards sustainability, Vietnam can harness its potential and meet the rising demand for renewable energy sources.ย The World Bank study illuminates Vietnam's potential to redefine its energy sector through offshore wind power. The journey towards achieving up to 25 GW wind capacity by 2035 signifies more than a shift in energy sources; it marks a transformative leap towards sustainable growth, economic prosperity, and environmental stewardship. As renewable energy talent demand and careers in Vietnam gain momentum, Vietnam is poised to emerge as a beacon of green innovation in Southeast Asia. By navigating its wind potential, Vietnam can steer the region towards a brighter, more sustainable future.โ€‹Whether you are a hiring manager or industry professional looking to better understand the realm of renewable energy within the Asia Pacific, LVI Associates is your strategic ally.

โ€‹Taiwan's Green Shift: Exploring Opportunities in the Renewable Energy Market and Prioritizing Occupational Health

Taiwan is embarking on a remarkable journey toward achieving a sustainable and green future. Recognizing the urgent need to combat climate change and reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, the country has been strategically diversifying its energy portfolio and embracing sources of renewable energy. This transition not only signifies a significant step towards a cleaner environment but also offers promising market opportunities for investors, stakeholders, and industry professionals. In this article, we will delve into the flourishing renewable energy market in Taiwan, highlighting the latest trends and areas of growth, and discussing how the nation's commitment to occupational health is further enhancing this transition. Diversification of Energy SourcesTaiwan's ambitious target to phase out nuclear power and increase the share of renewables in its energy mix has made the island a hotspot for investments in clean energy infrastructure. The government's commitment to sourcing at least 20% of its electricity from renewables by 2025 and achieving complete carbon neutrality by 2050 has led to a surge in renewable energy projects, particularly in solar, wind, hydro, and biomass energy.Solar Energy Potential Taiwan's geographical location provides ample sunlight throughout the year, making it an ideal region for solar energy generation. The government's drive to encourage solar installations and reduce regulatory barriers has attracted domestic and international investors, and has been further enhanced by favorable feed-in tariffs and incentives.Wind Power AdvancementsTaiwan's offshore wind energy sector has also gained significant momentum due to the island's strong coastal winds, making it an excellent candidate for offshore wind farms. The government's active support in terms of policies and funding, and international partnerships and collaborations bringing in expertise, have contributed to the rapid growth of offshore wind energy projects. These projects not only contribute to renewable energy employment but also have a positive economic impact on local communities, driving job creation and infrastructure development. Occupational Health: A Key PriorityWhile Taiwan's transition to renewable energy brings numerous opportunities, it has also brought attention to the importance of safeguarding the health and safety of workers involved in these projects. The government and industry stakeholders have placed a strong emphasis on ensuring high standards of occupational health, so stringent safety regulations, comprehensive training programs, and the incorporation of cutting-edge technologies are shaping safe working environments. Prioritizing occupational health not only protects workers but also ensures the longevity of sustainable energy careers. Renewable Energy Employment and Worker BenefitsAccording to our latest Renewable Energy Salary Guide, which surveyed over 400 renewable energy professionals across the APAC region, medical cover was the most common benefit received for Taiwan's offshore wind professionals, with nearly a quarter (23%) having access to this benefit. Extra holiday came in second at 19%, and 17% received a travel allowance. These benefits are all important for employeesโ€™ health and well-being, and all count towards a more attractive compensation package. When companies consider careers for these sustainable energy professionals, take into consideration how your salary and benefits package can be competitive and attractive. Without hiring and retaining the right talent, renewable energy projects will struggle to get off the ground. Investor Confidence and Economic GrowthTaiwan's commitment to renewable energy and occupational health not only aligns with global sustainability goals but also fosters investor confidence. As the renewable energy sector expands, it creates a ripple effect throughout the economy, generating job opportunities, driving innovation, and enhancing local communities. The economic impact of wind energy, especially in wind farm development, even has the potential to reshape the landscape of the region. Taiwan's Green Shift Towards Renewable EnergyTaiwan's green shift toward renewable energy is a multifaceted journey that encompasses environmental stewardship, economic growth, and occupational health. The nation's dedication to diversifying its energy sources and ensuring the well-being of its workforce has set the stage for a promising future. As the renewable energy market in Taiwan continues to flourish, investors, businesses, and communities worldwide have a unique chance to participate in this transformative movement while contributing to a sustainable planet for generations to come.

How a talent specialist can widen your career opportunities Image

How a talent specialist can widen your career opportunities

Achieving success in a competitive professional field requires leveraging the expert knowledge of a talent specialist who understands both you and your sector. Obtaining a position that puts your abilities to use and offers room for growth can be challenging, however. Thatโ€™s why having an advocate familiar with the market, organization, and industry is essential for a successful career. โ€ฏย Differentiating yourself from other top professionals can be made easier with the assistance of a talent specialist. Their extensive knowledge of your market, personality, and skill set will enable them to determine the best job for you that matches your skills, culture, renumeration, and development goals.As most senior level roles are exclusively advertised within an organizationโ€™s internal network and their talent partnerโ€™s network, job boards can provide little more than useful resources to help you begin identifying opportunities and get a general feel for the market. Therefore, it is often the case that professionals with a highly sought-after skillset are approached for a well-matched position when they arenโ€™t necessarily looking for one.โ€ฏSo, by seeking the advice of a talent specialist when considering a career move, you will benefit from an expert match-making service within an internal network of hiring organizations, and receive timely, direct feedback. The talent specialist acts as a representative for both you and the hiring company, operating with an understanding that time is precious.โ€ฏThey will help to improve the communication process, place you in a strong position to get the most from the opportunities presented, and ensure that the culture of the company you are interested in is aligned with your personality and requirements. After all, a top talent partnerโ€™s main goal isnโ€™t to get you into a seat in the office, but to present you with an opportunity in which you can thrive long-term.ย The power of strong relationshipsA talent specialist will have aโ€ฏstrong relationship with the hiring organization and may have even placed other professionals in previous roles, meaning theyโ€™ve built up a level of trust and understanding with the people who make up the business. This gives them leverage when advocating for you and provides you with information about the company that you need when making an important career decision. A strong talent partner will have made it their business to know the company inside out and will be able to tell you exactly what they are looking for, rather than giving you generic information that ends up wasting your time.Donโ€™t be afraid to ask questions โ€“ a talent specialist is a great source ofโ€ฏin-depth market knowledge, giving you access to current industry trends or changes, which can give you the edge should you need to tailor your resume and interview strategy to stand out from the competition.For future referenceNurturing a relationship with a talent specialist can help you secure a position with promising prospects. Even if you donโ€™t find the perfect role on the first try, that relationship will mean you are kept in their mind and in their database for when the perfect opportunity does arise. From resume advice to salary guidance, a talent specialist can update you on the market and show you how to leverage that to find the right role. They can alsoโ€ฏactively network for non-advertised opportunitiesโ€ฏthat best fit your career goals, while helping you enhance your resume or professional branding, so you are equipped to make a stellar first impression to a prospective employer.โ€ฏNetworking with a specialist talent partner can also develop a long-term relationship for future opportunities. In years to come, when you are ready for the next step, that consultant will still understand you, your requirements, and the best next steps available to you. And for you, itโ€™s always a plus to have a rapport with someone whoโ€™s helping to steer your future.Experts in the art of selectionTalent partners are selective by nature. Honing the skill over time, they hand-pick the most suitable roles for professionals seeking a new opportunity. Not only does this tailored approach maximize success for all parties involved, but it also helps professionals to recognize the potential in an opportunity they may not have considered on their own, while reducing the competition and creating a higher chance of success.โ€ฏBe open to networking with talent specialists when you may not be actively looking; the best opportunities can often pop up when youโ€™re least expecting it.The inside scoopAt senior level, opportunities are not always advertised through traditional mediums. Specialist talentโ€ฏconsultants are privy to a range of positions that only they and the organizationsโ€™ internal networks are aware of. This could be especially useful in situations where the vacancies that suit your skill set are few and far between.Leadingโ€ฏbusinesses often utilize a talent partnerโ€ฏbecause itโ€™s a more efficient way for them to hire the right person. Therefore, rather than hunting for opportunities that may not be visible online, you could save considerable time working with a talent specialist.Working in your interestsApproaching a job search can be daunting, but a great talent partner offers a wealth of knowledge on the state of the current job market and your specific industry. Once they get to know you and what youโ€™re looking for, their only objective is to place you in the role that is right for you. Once they have a clear idea of what you have to offer both professionally and personally, a talent partner can help you present a strong resume to any hiring company that meet your needs. It is therefore imperative to be open and honest with your talent specialist, taking the time to clearly define your needs and expectations.Liaising with a talent partner can help increase the efficiency of your search. When you succeed, they succeed, and so itโ€™s important to remember that they are truly there to work in your best interests, with your long-term career trajectory in mind.โ€ฏIn the same way that networking is often less effective if you just ramp up your activity when you want a job, reaching out to a talent specialist and building a relationship with them over time could help you secure better opportunities in the future.We partner closely with senior-level professionals with elite skillsets to enable their careers now and in the future. If you would like our help to find your next opportunity, โ€ฏget in touch today.
