A leading global energy management company is increasing its recruitment of military veterans, recognising the valuable skills they bring.

Schneider Electric said that its initiative would also address the UK’s shortage of skilled workers.

As part of its Veterans Talent Programme, the company is focusing on recruiting veterans transitioning from the armed forces for key operational and senior management roles in the energy management and electrical sectors.

With the UK’s shift to cleaner energy and its net zero goals, demand for these skills is rapidly growing, the company said.

Damion Baines of Schneider Electric, who left the British Army last year after 26 years of service, said: “Keeping calm under pressure, the ability to problem-solve and empathise with others have all proved crucial in my role, where I ensure critical buildings remain operational.”

Schneider Electric is known for its expertise in energy management, and focuses on providing help to businesses, homes, and industries with managing energy consumption efficiently and sustainably.

The company specialises in products and services that optimise energy use, increase efficiency, and reduce environmental impact.
