Skills That Will Keep You in Demand
From my conversations with clients in the German energy sector, it’s clear that demand for specialised freelancers is growing fast as onshore and offshore projects scale.
The most in-demand roles right now are:
- Cable Engineers – vital for cabling infrastructure.
- HVDC experts – key for offshore and long-distance transmission.
- HVAC specialists – needed across large-scale facilities.
- Project Managers – to coordinate complex delivery.
- Programme Managers – to oversee multiple workstreams.
For freelancers, these roles offer strong opportunities. Companies want not just technical skills, but proven project experience — making now the ideal time to position yourself in the market.
From what I’m seeing in the German energy market, the trends are clear: major onshore and offshore projects are driving demand for highly specialised freelancers. Roles such as Cable Engineers, HVDC and HVAC specialists, alongside experienced Project and Programme Managers, are at the top of every company’s list.
This demand isn’t slowing down — if anything, it will grow stronger over the next 6–12 months as projects scale and companies look for proven expertise to deliver results.
