Where are the Renewables related jobs in the UK?

At last the UK business establishment defined the plan that will give the British Renewables Industry the push to compete with its European and world 'would-be' peers. After decades of de-regularization and privatization of British industry,  the manufacturing industry is down to its knees. But now there is a potential new opportunity to explore, and take advantage from, within the Renewables entourage. Just as in the pre-industrial times, the UK faces today the challenge of being over-shadowed by the european business that are coming across the channel to fish any opportunity.  


The kick off the Round 3 for the offshore wind industry will bring plenty of opportunities of job creation, as over £100 billion as expected to be invested by the private sector.  Hence the whole supply chain is being impacted by the demand of a highly-skilled work force able to deliver the projects that back the whole idea. Let's just name some of the hottest positions in the highly-skilled renewables market these days:
Blade maintenance technicians
Carbon Analysts
Civil Design Engineers
