Wind Energy Project Managers

Wind energy project managers will continue to have strong job opportunities in the coming years. In fact, employment for project management specialists who work in wind electric power generation is expected to grow by a whopping 109 percent from 2023 through 2033, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. But it's important to note that field is small, so competition will be strong for jobs.

The wind energy industry is among the fastest growing sectors of the renewable-energy industry, due primarily to lower production costs. Wind power more than tripled from 2009 through 2023, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Offshore wind energy projects are expected to grow through 2050, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Wind energy project managers with a bachelor's degree or higher, knowledge of wind energy and wind farm operations, and flexibility to relocate will have the best job prospects.
