How We Support Employers

Renewable energy projects live and die on the strength of the team delivering them, and demand for experienced people across solar, wind, storage and grid currently outstrips supply. We help developers, EPC contractors, asset owners and operators build their team, whether that is a single specialist hire, a project-based workforce plan, or an executive search for a leadership role.

Our services span executive search, permanent and contract recruitment, and workforce planning across the project lifecycle, construction-phase, trades and technicians, commissioning and controls specialists, and the operations and maintenance teams who keep assets performing long after energisation.

We recruit across Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland, and work with candidates at every stage, from tradespeople and technicians on-site through to engineers, project leaders and executives.

Renewable Energy Recruitment FAQs

We recruit across the full project lifecycle in solar, wind, storage, hydro, hydrogen, transmission, waste to energy and electric vehicles — from construction-phase trades and technicians through to engineering, commissioning, asset management and executive leadership roles.
Both. We resource development-phase roles (planning, approvals, stakeholder engagement), construction-phase roles (site supervision, trades, technicians, commissioning), and long-term operations and maintenance teams.
Yes. Executive search sits alongside our permanent and contract recruitment services, and we’ve placed leadership roles across the energy transition and sustainability sector.
We operate across Australia and New Zealand, with teams in Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland.
We work exclusively within energy transition and sustainability, which means genuine relationships with renewables associations and a network built specifically for this sector, rather than a generalist database.
Our workforce planning service is built for exactly this — resourcing a full project team rather than a single role at a time.
