State of Energy 2026 Survey

The energy industry is entering a period of significant change.

As organisations balance project schedules, workforce availability, skills shortages, international mobility requirements and increasing delivery expectations, many are facing new challenges in how projects are planned, resourced and executed.
 

To better understand these trends, Brunel is conducting a global Energy Industry Trends Survey, gathering perspectives from professionals working across the energy sector.

Whether you're involved in project management, engineering, operations, workforce planning, talent acquisition, global mobility, procurement or executive leadership, your insight can help build a clearer picture of the opportunities and challenges shaping the industry today.

As a global workforce solutions, global mobility and project management partner, Brunel works closely with organisations delivering complex energy projects around the world.

Through these relationships, we see first-hand how industry priorities continue to evolve, from talent availability and skills development to international workforce mobility and project execution.

This survey is an opportunity to hear directly from the professionals working across the sector and better understand the challenges, opportunities and trends influencing the industry today.

The insights gathered will help shape future industry discussions and contribute to Brunel's ongoing understanding of the market.
