Energy, Utilities & Renewables Recruitment

Recruiting Across the Evolving Energy Landscape

The energy sector doesn't divide cleanly into "traditional" and "green" anymore. Oil and gas operators are standing up offshore wind divisions, utilities are retrofitting substations for electrification, and renewables developers are competing for the same grid engineers, project managers and compliance specialists as everyone else. That overlap is exactly where hiring pressure sits - and where renewable energy jobs go unfilled longest.

We recruit across oil and gas, power and utilities, renewables, energy trading, storage and energy efficiency, covering roles from subsea project delivery through to regulatory affairs. Our energy recruitment work sits alongside dedicated renewable energy and utilities mandates, so whether a client is decarbonising an existing asset base or building a solar portfolio from a standing start, we already know what the hire needs to understand.

Organisations hiring for renewable energy jobs, utilities jobs, or both, need consultants who think in specialisms rather than sectors. In a market moving this quickly, that distinction shapes how fast the right candidate is found. 

Who we work with

Organisations Across Energy, Utilities & Renewables

Our energy recruitment expertise spans generation, transmission, supply, energy trading and advisory.


We partner with organisations including:

  • Oil and gas operators and majors
  • Offshore and onshore wind developers
  • Solar and battery storage developers
  • Distribution and transmission network operators
  • Energy suppliers and utilities providers
  • Energy trading houses
  • Hydrogen and emerging fuels businesses
  • Engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors

Some organisations are building renewable energy capability, while others are adapting established oil and gas workforces for renewable and electrification projects. Both require a recruitment partner with a strong understanding of the technical skills and workforce challenges involved.


What's Driving Hiring Across Energy, Utilities & Renewables

The energy sector is evolving rapidly as investment in renewable generation, grid infrastructure and low-carbon technologies accelerates. These shifts are reshaping workforce demand, creating new hiring challenges across energy, utilities and renewables.

Renewable generation continues to account for an increasing share of electricity supply, but the workforce needed to deliver new projects is struggling to keep pace. Offshore wind, solar and energy storage developments are competing for the same engineers, technicians and commissioning specialists, placing significant pressure on recruitment in renewable energy.

For utilities and network operators, workforce availability has become a greater constraint than project funding. Grid reinforcement, nuclear new build and energy storage programmes are increasing demand for power engineering, commissioning and technical specialists, making these skills some of the most sought-after across the sector.

Employment across renewable energy and the wider low-carbon economy continues to grow, but not quickly enough to keep pace with the expanding project pipeline. As investment accelerates, organisations across energy, utilities and renewables face increasing competition for experienced professionals with the specialist skills needed to deliver critical infrastructure projects.

Specialist Expertise Across Energy, Utilities & Renewables

Energy, utilities and renewables may sit within the same market, but each has distinct workforce challenges. A utility investing in network resilience isn't hiring in the same way as a renewable developer scaling a new project or an energy trader growing its commercial team.

What sets our approach apart:

  • Discipline-led consultants: Specialists in functions such as engineering, technology, project delivery and commercial leadership, rather than generalist sector recruiters.
  • Established talent networks: Long-standing relationships with permanent, contract and executive professionals across the energy market.
  • Hiring that reflects your business: Supporting everything from specialist appointments to large-scale team builds and senior leadership searches.
