Foreword

2008 has seen major changes in the economy negatively impacting on many companies leading to fewer job opportunities. The Energy industry is still booming as organisations identify that an Energy Manager, for example, with a strong understanding of improvements in technological efficiencies – perhaps even employing new low energy / renewable technology – will demonstrate savings for a sustainable period of time benefitting them by reducing overheads.

Allen & York have an increasing number of vacancies that may be suitable for you as they expand further overseas especially into China, SE Asia and Australasian regions.

China has declared that it wants to speed up its nuclear power expansion as one of their large energy projects to boost infrastructure investment to buffer against the impact of the global financial crisis evidently creating thousands of job prospects.

A nuclear power plant in Yangjiang City has started being built costing an estimated $10.2 billion. The Yangjiang plant will have 6 units each having the capacity of generating one gigawatt of power with a completion date of 2017.

Energy projects like the above are taking place globally as governments set targets to increase the use of renewable and nuclear energy.

The experienced Energy Team can help find you the most suitable role whether you are looking to relocate overseas or feel that with the New Year you want a change in your career. Included in this newsletter is a selection of our most recent energy vacancies. Please feel free to contact us or visit the website at www.allen-york.com

We would like to thank you for all of your support and look forward to working with you in the coming year. From all at Allen & York have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
