Renewables Consulting Group (RCG) is ramping up its North America team to meet anticipated growth in work related to offshore wind.
Over the coming months, RCG plans to accelerate its hiring in North America to as many as 30 staff through a combination of local experts and experienced offshore wind professionals.
The east coast of the United States continues to see high market demand while the west coast is emerging as a significant area of opportunity for development, RCG said.
With multiple construction and operations plans submitted and approved for projects over the last year, more large-scale projects are positioned to enter construction for the middle of the decade.
As a result, RCG has responded with the appointments of Josiah Mault (pictured, left) and Jesse Broehl (pictured, right).
Mault joins RCG as a principal consultant and will be based out of Boston.
He was previously a senior team leader and offshore energy assessment lead at DNV.
Broehl, another principal consultant, will be based out of RCG’s New York office.
Before joining RCG, Broehl was a research analyst and has held senior research positions with the American Clean Power Association and Guidehouse Research.
Commenting on the appointments, Doug Pfeister, RCG Americas managing director, said: “Renewable energy in the Americas is booming and RCG is an enviable position to help developers, organisations and institutions pursue in their low-carbon ambitions.
“The appointments of Josiah and Jesse not only bolster our core competencies but also signal a period of rapid expansion in North America.”
