Mind the skills gap: Future-proof your offshore workforce

The offshore energy sector is booming as renewable energy demand skyrockets. With the UK targeting a decarbonised grid by 2030 and over 725,000 new jobs expected in renewable energy, the offshore projects are set to explode in growth. But there’s a problem: a skills gap. Currently, only 30% of the workforce needed for wind energy projects by 2026 is properly trained. 

To bridge this gap, organisations must act quickly and adopt strategies that help them scale, stay competitive, and manage their growing offshore workforce more effectively. But it’s not just about training—it’s about managing your workers efficiently across multiple locations. 

That’s where automation comes in. 

How automation can revolutionise offshore management 

Think of it as your workforce’s GPS – automating tasks, providing real-time insights into deployment, performance, and compliance management, and tracking resources effortlessly. Tools like OneView give you full visibility, allowing you to manage workers seamlessly, no matter how far offshore they are. From performance tracking to resource allocation and workforce scheduling, automation streamlines every step of the process. 

But wait—there’s more! 
 
As organisations scale up their workforce, the logistics behind getting your team to and from these remote locations can become overwhelming. This is where travel management and cost reduction become essential. Optimising travel means cutting unnecessary expenses and improving overall efficiency across the board. 

Why travel management is crucial to workforce success 

With teams spread out over multiple offshore sites, travel is often a necessary, but costly, part of the process. Automating travel logistics and finding ways to reduce those costs is a game-changer for any organisation. Not only does it save money, but it also ensures that your teams arrive on time, refreshed, and ready to get to work. 

By integrating smart travel solutions alongside workforce automation, offshore companies can reduce logistical bottlenecks, maximise productivity, and minimise unnecessary expenses. 

Workforce management for tomorrow, today 

As offshore energy projects continue to grow, optimising your offshore workforce today is the key to staying ahead of the curve. Whether it’s managing offshore workers, reducing travel costs, or tracking performance, the right technology will help you lead the charge in the industry.
