About Sustain

Specialist recruitment for renewable energy infrastructure

Sustain is a specialist recruitment consultancy focused exclusively on renewable energy infrastructure, supporting organisations and professionals operating in technically and commercially complex environments.

We work across biogas and CHP, solar and energy storage and onshore and offshore wind, providing informed recruitment support grounded in a clear understanding of how renewable energy assets are developed, built and operated.

A sector-focused approach

Renewable energy infrastructure presents unique hiring challenges.

Projects are capital-intensive, operational environments are demanding and the availability of experienced talent is often constrained.

Sustain was established to work narrowly and deliberately within these markets, allowing us to build deep sector knowledge and long-term relationships rather than operating as a generalist recruitment business.

Our work is informed by an understanding of asset lifecycles, operational realities and the commercial drivers behind hiring decisions, not just job titles.

Why Sustain exists

As the renewable energy sector continues to scale, access to the right people remains one of the key constraints on delivery and performance.

Too often, recruitment is approached as a transactional process,  prioritising speed or volume over suitability and long-term alignment.

Sustain was created to offer an alternative:

  • A considered, informed recruitment approach
  • Honest insight into competitive talent markets
  • Direct engagement with sector-experienced professionals
  • Discretion for sensitive or business-critical hires

How we work

We operate as a specialist recruitment partner rather than a volume supplier.
That means:

  • Taking time to understand the role, the organisation and the wider context
  • Providing clear and realistic market insight
  • Engaging directly with relevant talent, including passive candidates
  • Prioritising quality of outcome over speed for its own sake

This approach allows us to support complex hires where clarity, trust and sector understanding are essential.

Founder-led and relationship-driven

Sustain operates as a founder-led business, with clients and candidates working directly with a specialist recruiter throughout the process.
This ensures:

  • Consistency of communication
  • Accountability
  • A deeper understanding of both organisations and individuals

It also allows us to remain selective in the work we take on, focusing on assignments where we can add genuine value.

Who we work with

We partner with organisations across the renewable energy ecosystem, including:

  • Developers and owner-operators
  • Independent power producers
  • Investors and asset managers
  • EPCs, OEMs and specialist contractors

Our work spans development, construction, operations and asset management environments.

A long-term perspective

Recruitment decisions in renewable energy infrastructure have lasting impact for projects, assets and people.

Our role is to provide clarity, context and informed guidance in a fast-moving and increasingly competitive market, supporting long-term success rather than short-term outcomes.
