According to CDM Plus Ltd, concerns surrounding energy security and the challenges associated with oil and gas supply chains from regions such as Russia and the Middle East are driving unprecedented investment in renewable technologies. The company anticipates rapid growth in solar energy and battery storage projects across Europe and highlights its specialist expertise in supporting these developments.
The benefits of working within the sector extend beyond commercial success. CDM Plus Ltd believes its work contributes to two important global objectives: helping reduce carbon dioxide emissions to mitigate global warming and ensuring that client projects are designed, constructed, and operated safely. Through its role as Principal Designer, the company helps safeguard workers, stakeholders, and the public while supporting the transition to cleaner energy solutions.
Continuous professional development remains central to the organisation’s success. Every member of the team holds graduate-level qualifications and chartered status within relevant professional institutions. Maintaining these credentials requires participation in audited professional development programmes, ensuring that knowledge and expertise remain current within an evolving industry landscape.
The company also invests heavily in research and specialist sector knowledge to stay ahead of industry standards and expectations. Alongside ongoing professional development, CDM Plus Ltd undertakes specialist research on behalf of clients, focusing on emerging technologies and future industry requirements. Areas of particular interest include solar and battery technologies, onshore and offshore wind developments, and innovative renewable energy solutions.
Its involvement in cutting-edge projects demonstrates this commitment to innovation. CDM Plus Ltd works with clients engaged in research and development activities at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Orkney, the European Renewable Energy Deployment Centre in Aberdeen, and the MPS Prototype Platform test project in the Bay of Biscay for Black & Veatch. These projects place the company at the forefront of emerging renewable technologies and provide valuable insight into future industry trends.
For those considering a career in the sector, CDM Plus Ltd emphasises the importance of building both technical and commercial expertise. The company advises aspiring professionals to pursue a strong degree, preferably in engineering or business, gain experience within renewables consultancy, and seek practical exposure to both offshore and onshore renewable energy projects.
The team also highlights the value of understanding business accounting principles, particularly the sources and application of funds, alongside specialised qualifications such as Global Wind Organisation (GWO) training and Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training (BOSIET). Flexibility regarding work locations, obtaining professional chartership, committing to ongoing professional development, and understanding different forms of employment engagement including PAYE, freelance, sole trader, and limited company structures are all considered important foundations for long-term success.
Summing up the mindset needed to thrive within the profession, CDM Plus Ltd advises future industry leaders to pursue continuous learning, embrace emerging technologies, and maintain the highest standards of professional development and compliance throughout their careers.
