Specialist recruitment for complex renewable energy roles
Hiring in renewable energy infrastructure is rarely straightforward.
Whether you’re scaling a platform, delivering projects or operating critical assets, the challenge is often the same: finding the right people in a tight and highly specialised market.
Sustain works with organisations across renewable energy to support technically and commercially complex hires where sector understanding, discretion and access to the right talent really matter.
Supporting hiring across the renewable energy lifecycle
We partner with businesses operating across:
- Biogas, biomethane and CHP
- Solar and energy storage
- Onshore and offshore wind
From early-stage development through to construction, operations and asset management, we understand how hiring requirements evolve as projects and portfolios mature.
Roles we support
We work across a broad range of technical and commercial functions, including:
- Engineering, maintenance and operations
- Project delivery and construction
- Asset management and performance optimisation
- Commercial, development and investment roles
- Leadership and senior appointments
Rather than pushing CVs, we focus on alignment, technical capability, sector experience and cultural fit.
Our approach
Sustain operates as a specialist recruitment partner, not a volume supplier.
That means:
- Taking time to understand your business, assets and growth plans
- Providing honest market insight on availability, competition and timelines
- Engaging directly with sector-specific talent, including passive candidates
- Managing sensitive or confidential hires with discretion
Our focus is on quality of outcome, not speed for its own sake.
Who we work with
We support a range of organisations across the renewable energy ecosystem, including:
- Developers and owner-operators
- Independent power producers
- Investors and asset managers
- EPCs, OEMs and specialist contractors
Engagements range from single critical hires through to ongoing recruitment support as teams scale.
A long-term perspective
Recruitment decisions have a lasting impact, particularly in technical asset-heavy sectors.
Our aim is to build long-term relationships with clients, providing continuity, market intelligence and a consistent point of contact as your organisation grows.
