Optimising Your Profile for the Net Zero Agenda

As the UK accelerates towards Net Zero targets, professionals face a growing set of challenges:

• Evolving regulations and unclear policies make long-term planning difficult
• Supply chain instability is impacting project delivery and reliability
• Hidden skills gaps – like stakeholder management and risk mitigation – are often more important than technical know-how
• Performance gaps and accountability pressures put reputations at risk
• Unclear career pathways and inconsistent job specs make it harder to stand out

In this Panoramic Associates Briefing, supported by LOGIN, Alex Miller and Harper Redman are joined by Gerald Charles to share valuable insights on how to future-proof your profile, avoid emerging risks, and succeed in a sector that’s moving fast and not always predictably.

We will then open the floor for questions and discussion, so you can share your own experiences while hearing advice from others.

Talk Overview

Gerald will discuss the additional skills that retrofit professionals need to meet the growing complexity of the sector. He will highlight how the role is expanding beyond technical delivery to encompass compliance, coordination of staged works, and systems thinking, especially when early interventions, such as heat pumps, are introduced. The discussion will explore how the sector can prepare a workforce that is as competent in customer engagement, sequencing, and quality assurance as it is in technical expertise.

Recruitment specialists Alex and Harper will then share practical advice on how to stand out in the competitive Net Zero job market. From tailoring your CV for retrofit and sustainability roles to nailing interviews and navigating the hiring process, they’ll offer clear, actionable tips to help you present your experience with confidence and land your next role.
