Markets I cover
The markets that we specialize in are “Renewable Energy” and “Clean Technology” however these terms can be loosely applied to a wide range of roles for customers. Current trends mean that companies previously involved in oil and gas production have moved into renewable energy generation projects. It is not only state or private utility companies and independent power producers that look for Project Development staff. Another shift in the market has created demand with clean technology solution providers. Building service consultancies and property developers now require sustainability and energy optimization experts to advise their clients on how to reduce energy consumption. Likewise large Multinational corporations have committed to net zero initiatives as part of their corporate social responsibility programme. In partial summary the markets that we cover are helping businesses to attract talent in their efforts to become greener.
Clients I’m always interested in hearing from
Any organisation which is operating in the Renewable energy or clean technology industry and needs help attracting professionals to join their organisation. Each client is different, and we understand that our role in supporting HR will depend a lot on the existing capabilities of the HR team. Some clients choose to outsource their entire HR function to us while for other businesses we support only very senior level roles or the establishment of new business units.
