South Africa is spearheading recruitment in Africa’s green hydrogen sector this month, offering 26 of the 31 available roles. Opportunities are concentrated in southern and North Africa, the continent’s two leading regions driving the expansion of green hydrogen projects and the emerging clean energy workforce.

  • These are mostly renewable roles linked to the green hydrogen sector either by company or the nature of a position.

  • Norwegian renewable energy company Scatec and South Africa’s sustainable energy firm Pele Energy dominate hiring, each offering ten positions.
