Finance might be the most overlooked pressure point in renewable energy hiring right now.

Most of the market saw salary increases land close to what people expected this year, but Finance didn't follow that pattern. Our 2026 Renewable Energy Remuneration Report found 92% of Finance professionals expected a pay rise, while only 64% actually received one.

That's a real gap, and the report flags it directly as a retention risk: professionals who feel their pay isn't keeping pace are increasingly open to exploring roles where it does.

If you're in Finance and want to know exactly where you stand, or you're an employer wondering if this is already costing you talent, get your role or your team benchmarked against the report.

Most professionals across renewable energy aren't actively applying anywhere right now. That doesn't mean they're off the market.

We've built a database of over 124,000 candidates across more than 16 years specialising exclusively in renewable energy recruitment. That depth means we're often already in conversation with the person you need, long before they're actively applying anywhere.

If you're hiring for a hard-to-fill role, that head start matters.

Development hiring has changed.

Salary still matters, but it is no longer the whole conversation.

Project confidence, leadership, flexibility and long-term pipeline are now shaping how Development professionals assess their next move.

For employers, that means attraction needs to go well beyond remuneration.

For candidates, it means commercial awareness, stakeholder capability and broader project lifecycle exposure are becoming harder to ignore.
