The latest research from Renewable UK, the leading renewable energy trade association in the UK, has revealed that approximately 10,000 jobs could be created in the wave and tidal industry within the next eight years.

The study also highlighted the current dearth of talent in the renewable energy sector, with many employers struggling to find talented engineers with the correct experience. According to Renewable UK, those with a strong foundation in mechanical and electrical engineering, along with cross sector expertise, will find plenty of graduate job opportunities in the upcoming years.
