Agenda Day 2
2:50 PM Panel - Building the workforce to deliver New Zealand's energy future: before the pipeline runs ahead of the people
Labour shortages are already constraining project delivery across the NZ energy sector, and the pipeline is only growing. This session puts the workforce crisis on the table and asks the sector to own its share of solving it.
The numbers: how many engineers, project managers, technicians, and tradespeople does the NZ pipeline need over the next five years, and how far short is the current training and recruitment pipeline?
As the workforce scales up fast, are new hires and contractor networks coming in with the skills, safety standards, and risk maturity the industry actually needs, or is the sector growing headcount faster than it can grow capability?
Māori workforce development, international recruitment, and apprenticeship models as structural solutions to a structural problem
