Skilled trades are the backbone of Newfoundland and Labrador’s energy industry, playing a crucial role in both traditional and renewable energy sectors. Tradespeople such as electricians, welders, pipefitters, and heavy equipment operators are responsible for constructing, maintaining, and repairing vital infrastructure, including power plants, oil platforms, and wind farms.

These professionals ensure that energy facilities run safely and efficiently, handling everything from electrical systems to mechanical repairs. In renewable energy projects, skilled trades are also at the forefront, installing solar panels, wind turbines, and energy storage systems. Their hands-on expertise is essential in keeping the energy industry operational, efficient, and adaptable to new technologies and environmental standards. Skilled trades also play a significant role in meeting safety regulations and responding to emerging energy demands.
