Demand for oil and gas workers to transition forecast to be ‘significant’ in coming years

An employment expert has reassured oil and gas workers that there will be “significant” opportunities for them to transition into renewables.

Janette Marx, chief executive of energy workforce solutions provider Airswift, said the industry has an “advantage” given it is “well-practised” in combating change.

Renewables, including offshore wind and hydrogen, are being relied upon to absorb thousands of jobs from the oil and gas industry as the energy transition gathers pace.
