NextEra’s generation operations support electricity supply for nearly 5 million customers, making operations and maintenance an important continuing recruitment requirement.
Iberdrola Plans to Recruit 15,000 Professionals by 2028
Iberdrola has announced one of the renewable-energy industry’s largest recruitment programmes. The Spanish energy group says it plans to welcome 15,000 new professionals as part of its 2025-2028 Strategic Plan.
Unlike a snapshot of current vacancies, this figure provides job seekers with visibility into Iberdrola’s multi-year hiring requirements.
Iberdrola renewable energy recruitment drive accompanies investment in renewable energy, electricity grids, large-scale energy storage and digital transformation. These areas require a combination of traditional power-sector expertise and newer capabilities in software, automation and digital technologies.
Iberdrola’s hiring programme is particularly important because recruitment is linked to a defined strategic investment period rather than a general commitment to workforce expansion.
