NEO Energy’s Post

As 2024 draws to a close, it has been a year of significant change and opportunity in the construction industry. From record-breaking infrastructure investments to the rise of sustainable practices and digital innovation, these developments have shaped the projects being delivered and the recruitment landscape across our NEO International Partners brands. Some big industry highlights for the year include: 🏗️ Mega-Projects on the Rise: This year saw ambitious initiatives such as the £80bn UK government infrastructure framework and major projects like the Ontario Line & Fraser River Tunnel Replacement in Canada. These large-scale developments have driven demand for senior-level talent with experience managing complex, multi-disciplinary projects. 🌍 Sustainability and Decarbonisation: Projects such as the Teesside Carbon Capture and Storage initiative have highlighted the construction industry's commitment to net-zero goals, creating new opportunities for NEO Energy to recruit professionals in sustainable infrastructure and renewable energy sectors. 🖥️ Mission-Critical Growth: The data centre boom, fuelled by investments from giants such as AWS, Google, and Microsoft, has driven significant growth for NEO Mission Critical, with demand for roles in design, operations, and project leadership across the US and beyond. How This Has Shaped Recruitment The dynamic nature of the industry has reinforced the importance of specialised recruitment. Each of our NEO brands; NEO Construct, NEO Energy, and NEO Mission Critical – has adapted to meet the unique demands of their sectors. At NEO Construct, we have focused on sourcing talent for infrastructure projects that require innovative thinkers and experienced leaders. NEO Energy has worked to connect professionals with cutting-edge projects in renewable energy and decarbonisation. Meanwhile, NEO Mission Critical continues to grow in response to the expanding demand for scalable, energy-efficient data centre infrastructure. So, what does 2025 and beyond look like? Bright...with even greater investment expected across infrastructure, energy, and digital transformation projects. The success of these ventures will depend on having the right people in the right roles, something we are proud to specialise in at NEO International Partners. To everyone who has partnered with us this year – clients, candidates, and colleagues – thank you for being part of this journey. If you are looking ahead to 2025 with new goals or challenges, let’s connect and continue building together. #ConstructionRecruitment #YearInReview #InfrastructureGrowth #Sustainability #DataCentres #Leadership #NEOInternational #PositivelyImpactingPeople
