Specialist recruitment for renewable energy infrastructure
Hiring in renewable energy infrastructure is rarely straightforward.
The market is highly specialised, the strongest candidates are often not actively looking and the right hire can have a significant impact on a project, portfolio or platform.
Sustain partners with developers, IPPs, investors and renewable energy platforms on specialist hiring across the UK.
Four interconnected specialisms
Our work is focused across four areas:
Investment & Transactions
Development & Origination
Commercial & Asset Management
Project Delivery
These functions sit across the lifecycle of renewable energy infrastructure, from originating and investing in projects through development, commercialisation and delivery.
Our work spans solar, energy storage, onshore and offshore wind, biogas and other renewable energy infrastructure.
Understanding the requirement
Successful recruitment starts with understanding more than a job description.
We take time to understand the organisation, the team, the role and the context behind the hire including the experience that is genuinely required and where that talent is likely to sit within the market.
That allows us to approach relevant people with a clear understanding of the opportunity rather than simply matching keywords or job titles.
Our approach
Sustain operates as a specialist recruitment partner, not a volume supplier.
That means:
- Taking time to understand the requirement before approaching the market
- Providing an informed view of candidate availability and market conditions
- Engaging directly with relevant professionals, including those not actively looking
- Managing sensitive or confidential searches with discretion
Our focus is on identifying the right people and creating the conditions for a successful hire.
Who we work with
We work primarily with:
- Developers
- Independent power producers
- Investors
- Renewable energy platforms
Our clients range from established energy and infrastructure organisations to specialist developers and growing platforms, with assignments ranging from individual strategic hires to ongoing recruitment support as teams develop.
A long-term perspective
Renewable energy is a connected market, and the strongest recruitment relationships develop over time.
Our aim is to understand our clients, their teams and how their requirements evolve, providing continuity and an informed view of the talent market when hiring needs arise.
That may mean supporting an immediate requirement, planning for future growth or simply sharing market insight before a hiring decision has been made.
