Leaders for the energy transition
Executive, engineering and technology hiring for energy, utilities and renewables businesses in the Gulf, the UK and Europe.
Speak to our teamThe energy sector is changing faster than at any time in a generation. Gulf states are investing heavily in solar, wind, hydrogen and grid capacity alongside traditional energy. The UK and Europe are racing to build offshore wind, storage and grid networks. Every one of these projects needs experienced leaders.
The pool of people who have delivered large energy projects, run safe operations and led digital change at the same time is small and in high demand. We find them, test them properly, and help you land them.
Energy roles we recruit
What makes energy hiring hard
Project scale is everything
A 50MW solar farm and a gigawatt programme need different leaders. We check the size and stage of what they delivered.
Safety comes first
We test safety records and how candidates lead a safety culture, not just which standards they know.
Old and new energy meet
Many leaders come from oil and gas into renewables. We check which skills really transfer.
Digital runs the grid
Smart grids, SCADA and data now decide performance. Leaders need to understand the systems as well as the assets.
How we assess energy leaders
- Scale: capacity, capex, sites and teams they owned
- Delivery: projects brought in on time and budget, and what they did when they were not
- Safety: their record and how they built a safety culture
- Stakeholders: work with governments, regulators, investors and EPC contractors
- Localisation: how they developed local talent and supply chains
I have had the pleasure of working with Ameera on a few opportunities in the last year and a half. She has always been a dedicated and collaborative professional. She captures what the individual and client need and sets a proper plan with clear milestones that removes the stress and ambiguity from a usually delicate situation.
