A practitioner-focused guide shows how oil and gas professionals can reposition themselves for rewarding careers in clean energy without starting from scratch.
The authors map a surprisingly high degree of overlap—often 70–80%—between traditional energy roles and jobs in wind, solar and other low-carbon technologies, particularly in project management, operations, health and safety, and engineering. Through concrete examples and CV advice, the piece demonstrates how to translate offshore, subsurface or major-project experience into language and competencies that resonate with renewable energy recruiters. It also touches on the less tangible side of transition: reframing professional identity, navigating culture shifts, and using mentoring relationships to build confidence in a new sector.
If you’re wondering whether your oil and gas background is still an asset in a decarbonising world, this article offers both practical steps and a reassuring narrative of continuity, not rupture.
