Energy Recruitment Built on Industry Experience
How We Find Energy Talent
Our directors spent two decades on offshore gas platforms and nuclear submarines, so we know what energy roles demand. We reach engineers and project staff through industry networks and direct approach, then check what matters: the plant they have worked on, their safety record and the tickets the site needs.

Whether you need a contract HV engineer or a permanent project director, tell us about the role and the project. A consultant will reply within 24 hours to talk through the brief, rates and a realistic start date.
The Energy Skills Challenge UK Employers Face
The UK’s plans for offshore wind, grid upgrades and new nuclear all need large numbers of electrical, mechanical and project staff at the same time. Many of these projects are competing for the same people.
For employers, that means longer hiring times and higher day rates. For candidates, it means strong demand and good routes in for people moving from oil and gas, the forces or other engineering sectors. Following the energy news behind each project helps both sides plan ahead.
That is why we write this blog. Our consultants use the same research to brief clients on realistic rates and timelines.
Energy Specialists. We Solve Your Equations.
Our directors spent more than 20 years working on offshore gas platforms and nuclear submarines, so energy is home ground for us.
We offer a free online session and site visit. Meeting the hiring manager and seeing the site gives us what we need to find the right person.
