Upskilling in technical and engineering fields is vital for the offshore wind industry to meet the increasing complexity and scale of modern wind projects, particularly as the sector expands into deeper waters and adopts emerging technologies like floating turbines and integrated energy systems. Skilled engineers are essential for designing, installing, and maintaining robust infrastructure that can withstand harsh marine environments while maximising energy output and minimising downtime.
With advancements in materials science, electrical systems, and mechanical components, ongoing technical training ensures that the workforce can apply innovative solutions, adhere to evolving standards, and drive continuous improvement across the supply chain. Investing in technical and engineering skills not only supports operational excellence but also strengthens Scotland’s position as a global leader in offshore renewable energy.
