Renewables

The renewable energy sector is expanding rapidly, with large-scale projects in wind, solar, and tidal energy driving the UK’s push toward net-zero targets. Companies working in renewables face increasing pressure to meet growing energy demands while staying on top of sustainability goals. With the need for specialised skills in new technologies rising, businesses in the sector need agile workforce solutions to ensure they have the talent needed to meet the demands of this evolving industry.

Challenges we can help you with

1Skills Shortages in Renewable Energy Roles
Renewable energy projects are ramping up, creating a shortage of skilled workers in key roles like wind turbine technicians, grid integration specialists, and solar engineers. Companies need quick access to talent with experience in large-scale renewables projects.
2Adapting to New Sustainable Energy Technologies
With the rise of offshore wind farms, battery storage, and green hydrogen projects, companies need workers who understand the intricacies of these emerging technologies and can adapt quickly to new systems.
3Harnessing Transferable Skills Across Industries
As the renewable sector continues to expand, tapping into transferable skills from industries like oil & gas, construction, and engineering can help fill the talent gap. Many skills in project management, engineering, and compliance can be adapted to meet the specific needs of renewable energy projects.
4Meeting Regulatory Compliance and Safety Standards
Safety and compliance are critical in renewable energy projects. Companies must meet strict industry regulations across offshore and onshore wind projects, solar farms, and grid integration, and need a workforce that understands and adheres to these standards.
5Responding to Project-Based and Fluctuating Demands
As projects ramp up or down, particularly in wind and solar installations, businesses need the flexibility to scale their workforce accordingly. Access to a reliable pool of contract and temporary workers helps meet these project demands efficiently.
6Reducing Time to Hire for Specialised Roles
Key roles like offshore wind technicians, compliance officers, and energy storage experts are highly specialised and difficult to fill. Reducing time to hire is critical to keeping these large-scale projects on track and within budget.
7Upskilling for Digital and Technological Advancements
As renewable projects become increasingly data-driven, from predictive maintenance to energy management systems, there is a growing need to upskill workers in digital technologies to improve project efficiency and energy output.
8Building a Diverse and Inclusive Workforce
Diversity and inclusion play an important role in innovation and community engagement. Creating a workforce that reflects the diverse communities served by renewable energy projects is key to driving fresh perspectives and fostering a culture of inclusion.

Delivering Proven Screening Success at Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C

Delivering Proven Screening Success at Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C

Rullion has been a trusted candidate background screening provider since 2014, playing a vital role in supporting major UK nuclear infrastructure projects, including Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C. Working across multiple delivery partners and project phases, we’ve helped embed consistent, compliant, and candidate-friendly screening at scale. With over 8,000 candidates screened annually and clearance times reduced to an average of just 7.5 days, our model continues to support project momentum and onboarding efficiency - while maintaining the highest standards of compliance and governance. The Challenge To keep momentum on projects of this scale, pre-employment screening must be robust, accurate, and fast. Every individual working on site requires BPSS (Baseline Personnel Security Standard) clearance before work can begin. With multiple stakeholders, evolving regulatory requirements, and high volumes of candidates, the background screening process can be complex to manage, even with established systems in place. Our clients needed a nuclear screening provider who could bring clarity, consistency, and pace to an already demanding environment. What project teams need: Timely and accurate delivery of BPSS clearance and related vetting checks A positive, well-supported candidate experience Screening support delivered direct to projects like Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C, and across Tier 1 contractors and their supply chains Real-time visibility, control, and governance in screening processes Tier 1 contractors are the principal delivery partners on major projects such as Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C. Supporting them means enabling their workforces and suppliers to clear vetting efficiently, reducing risk of onboarding delays. A Proven Screening Model for Nuclear Environments Our nuclear screening model has evolved over years of delivery, working across early careers, agency-supplied workers, and permanent hires. The service model is grounded in best practice, with compliance and candidate experience at its core. Our solution is built on five key pillars: 1. Speed with Precision We consistently reduce average BPSS clearance times from 30-40 days to fewer than 8 days, using: A dedicated screening portal with automated timelines Electronic document collection via DocuSign One-to-one support from trained candidate advisors “We’re consistently achieving clearances in 7–8 days - and in urgent cases, we’ve turned around checks in just 24 hours,” says Jayne Lee, Head of Screening. 2. BPSS and Beyond We manage all core BPSS clearance elements: Right to work (RTW) Identity and address verification Criminal record checks (DBS) Three to five years referencing We also support CTC and SC clearance preparation where needed, compiling candidate packs ready for formal review. 3. Human-Led Candidate Experience Every candidate is assigned a named advisor who supports them through the screening journey; they answer questions, collect documents, and maintain engagement from start to finish. “We know how to reach the right contact for a reference. Our proactive approach keeps things moving,” adds Jayne. 4. Real-Time Governance Our clients benefit from full transparency throughout: Live dashboards and candidate status tracking SLA-based monitoring and escalation Monthly reporting and governance in screening audits 5. Scalable Across Supply Chains Our solution is used not only by project leads but by Tier 1 contractors across both Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C. The model scales to support different business units and workforce types including; contractors, agency workers, and permanent staff Impact to Date Over 8,000 candidates screened annually 75% reduction in average screening times +69 Net Promoter Score (NPS) from screened candidates BPSS compliance embedded with live audit capability Fully digital, mobile-friendly experience Adopted by Tier 1s across the project supply chain A Benchmark for Nuclear Screening Rullion’s screening model is now a recognised example of best practice in regulated environments, supporting complex infrastructure programmes where delays and drop-offs can have significant impact. We continue to support project teams across Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C, delivering the confidence and control they need to move quickly and compliantly.
