With big personalities like Elon Musk and Richard Branson pushing the boundaries of technology on a seemingly daily basis, now seems like an exciting time to start a career in engineering.
But despite the engineering industry being expected to continue to grow, it’s predicted that 40% of jobs could be automated by 2030. So which fields of engineering are the safest for the future?
We decided to take a look.
Using our experience of engineering recruitment and figures from the US Bureau of Labour Statistics, we’ve created this list of the 14 best engineering jobs for the future to help you decide which aspect of the industry you might like to start a career in.
1. Solar Photovoltaic Installers
Photovoltaic installers assemble, install and maintain private and commercial solar panel setups to provide individuals and businesses with access to renewable energy.
As the price of solar panels continues to fall, they continue to become a financially viable option for more and more people. This increased demand, coupled with a change in public opinion about solar panels, means that the number of jobs for PV installers is expected to more than double by 2026.
Why We Think It’s Future Proof
Governments across the world are under pressure to reduce their carbon emissions drastically over the next few years, so it’s important that they invest in renewable energy sectors. As they invest in solar energy, the number of installs is likely to increase, creating more work for the installers.
Even if the market became saturated, there would still be a need for PV technicians to carry out maintenance and repairs on the existing systems.
