Nice Engineering Degree You Got There. Wanna Join a Revolution?
Discover Why Ambitious Engineers are Choosing FastGrid to Power Their Careers
Date
11.14.24In a world crying out for engineering talent, some choose to play it safe. We choose to play it rebel. Through a tech-first approach, game-changing opportunities, and a killer mentorship program, FastGrid is attracting the best—of the best—to join our revolution and redefine what’s possible in sustainable energy.
- 400,000 engineers needed. Yesterday.
- Engineers talent crisis: 1 in 3 engineering roles sit empty each year.
So you’ve got the degree. The skills. The drive to make an impact. Now comes the real question: What will you do with it all?
Here’s something they probably didn't mention in engineering school: You’re not just in demand—you’re a unicorn. The U.S. is staring down a massive engineering talent shortage—600,000 engineers short by 2030, to be exact. Most companies are panicking. Throwing money at the problem. Hoping for the best.
But you’re not looking for “most companies,” are you?
At FastGrid, we’re not just weathering the talent storm—we’re creating a perfect one. While others scramble to fill seats with warm bodies, we’re building a rebellion. A movement of engineers who see the industry’s crisis as their spotlight moment. Engineers who don’t just want to design systems—they want to redesign the future.
Here’s why extraordinary engineers are choosing to join our revolution.
Where Engineers Get Superpowers
Gone are the days of engineers drowning in mundane tasks. When research shows AI can boost engineering productivity by 20-40%, we say: “yeah, we know. We’re already doing that.” And we’re not alone in this vision—93% of engineers believe AI will enhance their work, while 74% report that automation tools have already reduced their time spent on repetitive tasks. Our integrated tech stack doesn’t just optimize your work—it amplifies your impact. Join us, and you’ll accomplish what takes weeks for others in minutes.
71% of engineers say they want cutting-edge tech. At FastGrid, we hand you the keys.
Where Engineers Become Rebels
While 75% of companies struggle to hire engineering talent, we’re busy building something different: an incubator for energy revolutionaries. The FastGrid Academy isn’t your typical training program—it’s where visionaries are born. Here, you’ll learn to see beyond the obvious and create the impossible.
Our approach? Radically different from day one:
- Immersive Project Experience: Jump straight into real renewable energy projects with our senior rebels as your guides. No coffee runs—just pure, hands-on innovation from day one.
- Tech-First Mastery: Master our cutting-edge tools and proprietary technology stack while others are still clicking through traditional CAD programs.
- Cross-Discipline Innovation: Break down silos between electrical, civil, and structural engineering. Our rebels don’t just specialize—they synthesize.
- Mentorship That Matters: Partner with industry veterans who’ve designed over 23GW of renewable energy projects. These aren’t just mentors; they’re your fellow revolutionaries.
Want to grow? Mentored engineers are 97% more likely to thrive.
Where Engineers Stay Beyond the 3.7-Year Itch
The average engineer stays 3.7 years (so they say). But rebels aren’t average. At FastGrid, you won’t just have a job—you’ll have a mission. You won’t just design systems; you’ll create the future of energy. You won’t just solve problems; you’ll prevent blackouts and power millions of homes with clean energy.
Here’s what makes rebels stay and thrive:
- Impact You Can Measure: Your designs will directly power communities across America (and the world!), enabling enough clean energy to power millions of homes.
- Growth Without Ceilings: Lead groundbreaking projects within your first year, with clear paths to technical leadership or team management.
- Work That Evolves: Tackle new challenges across utility-scale solar design, advanced battery storage solutions, high-voltage transmission and distribution, and grid stability innovations.
While 67% of engineers feel stuck in their roles. Our rebels? They’re too busy moving up.
The proof? Our average tenure is double the industry standard, with 99% of our rebels saying they’re doing the most meaningful work of their careers. This isn’t just about staying longer—it’s about achieving more and doing what you love. Oh, and getting paid to do it.
Purpose beats pay. At FastGrid, you get it all—and get to change the world.
Join Our Revolution
The future of energy demands more than just engineers—it demands rebels who think differently and act boldly. While others play it safe in the talent crisis, we’re busy building a movement. At FastGrid, you won’t just find a job; you’ll find your calling.
