EMPOWERING POEPLE TO POWER THE PLANET

The Renewable Energy Sector & The Human Side of the Energy Transition

The move towards a cleaner, low-carbon energy future is often measured in terms of investment in technology and infrastructure, yet real progress begins with people. Every solar farm, offshore wind project, geothermal plant, or clean power initiative starts with individuals who believe that their work can make a difference. 

Our role is to connect individuals with organisations so their ideas can take shape and thrive. 

From solar PV, wind, geothermal, hydropower, and green biomass to green hydrogen and marine energy, we help organisations build the teams that deliver real impact.

STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP FOR A CLEANER TOMORROW

Senior Appointments Across the Lifecycle of Renewable and Clean Energy Projects

We help power the future of renewable and other clean energy by connecting senior-level experts with organisations delivering progress across the entire project lifecycle, from early development and engineering to construction and operations. By facilitating the critical appointments that define success, we support organisations leading the clean energy transition across utility-scale solar PV, offshore wind, geothermal developments, and other emerging power solutions.

Through a combination of global reach and deep industry knowledge, we identify professionals whose expertise, vision, and commitment bring complex projects to life.

REAL STORIES, REAL IMPACT

Stories from Our Clients and Candidates

Every appointment tells a story of ambition, trust and shared purpose. These stories capture moments of progress for both people and organisations. They show how leadership, opportunity and belief come together to move the renewable energy sector forward.

Advisory Firm

International Expansion

When a global management consultancy firm wanted to expand their renewable energy advisory services, they needed a leadership team capable of driving that growth, to turn ambition into impact. 

We partnered with them from the outset, helping shape a senior structure as they expanded into multiple locations across Europe.

We began with the key appointments; Country Managers and Senior Directors, who could translate strategic vision into measurable commercial growth. With this foundation in place, we helped build local teams and extend into new jurisdictions, ensuring each had the right balance of technical expertise and cultural fluency.

What began as a search partnership evolved into a trusted relationship. Today, their renewable advisory arm stands as one of the most respected in Europe, testament to how purpose-led leadership drives sustainable growth.
 

ADAPTING, GROWING AND LEADING WITH PURPOSE

How the Workforce is Evolving

The energy industry is no longer predictable. Careers have traditionally followed a predictable path; engineers moved into technical roles, business graduates into commercial ones, many built lifelong careers within a single business unit, today’s landscape is far more varied, with many roles emerging that did not exist a decade ago.

The workforce is reshaping itself. Experts from traditional energy sectors are transitioning into renewables and other clean power sectors, bringing not only deep technical expertise but also the seasoned judgement that comes from navigating complex, high-stakes environments. Their insight lend strength, stability, and credibility to emerging initiatives.

Technology has redefined how work happens. Digital tools including artificial intelligence, data analytics, and remote collaboration platforms, now sit alongside traditional engineering. Projects are no longer bound by geography. Teams span cities, countries, and continents, working together as seamlessly as if they shared the same office.

Flexibility is now a defining feature of a career in energy. Professionals increasingly move between roles and sectors over the course of their working lives. The energy workforce is no longer shaped by tradition, but by an ability to adapt and adjust.
