Investment & Transactions

Specialist recruitment across investment and transactions in renewable energy infrastructure

Investment and transaction teams play a central role in how renewable energy projects, portfolios and platforms are financed, acquired, developed and realised.

Sustain works with developers, IPPs, investors and renewable energy platforms to recruit investment and transaction professionals across the UK renewable energy infrastructure market.

Understanding the investment market

Investment hiring in renewable energy requires more than matching someone with financial modelling or transaction experience.

The relevance of a candidate’s background can depend on where they have invested, the stage and scale of assets they have worked with, their level of transaction ownership and whether their experience has been gained within an investor, developer, IPP or advisory environment.

Our approach is built around understanding those distinctions before approaching the market, allowing us to identify people whose experience is genuinely relevant to the requirement.

Who we work with

Our investment and transactions work spans:

  • Renewable energy developers
  • Independent power producers
  • Infrastructure and renewable energy investors
  • Renewable energy platforms

We support established organisations as well as growing platforms building investment capability as their portfolios and strategies develop.
