As the energy industry evolves, the skills required and the approaches to overcoming emerging challenges must adapt as well. With the sector exploring new frontiers, the opportunity to become a leader in the field has never been more accessible.

Success requires a diverse set of skills, many of which can be transferred from different roles or industries. Achieving net-zero will require more than just traditional industry experience. So, what specific skills are companies seeking as they navigate uncharted territory? And how do we engage a broader range of talent to ensure a sustainable future?
