When the hire matters, the search has to deliver.
Renewable energy recruitment for Developers, IPPs, and emerging platforms - and the Private Equity, Credit, VC, Infrastructure Funds and Asset Managers that back them. One senior team, one market, no hand-offs.

The talent pool is thinner than the pipeline.
Renewable energy is scaling faster than its leadership bench. The professionals who have actually developed, financed, built and operated DG and utility-scale portfolios are few, well-paid, and not reading job boards. Generalist recruiters send the same fifty names to everyone.
Meanwhile the cost of a wrong senior hire - a missed COD, a mispriced portfolio, a stalled fundraise - is measured in quarters, not salaries. A critical search is not a vacancy to fill. It is a risk to manage.
That is the work we do: precise, discreet, and accountable to the outcome.
Partner-led and retained, from brief to onboarding.
Brief & market map
A partner takes the brief directly - the role, the company and commercial context, and what success looks like at twelve months. We map the live market against it before anyone is approached.
Research & approach
We approach the people who exactly fit - most already in seats, not active on job boards. Every conversation is discreet and positions your mandate credibly in the market.
A focused shortlist
Not fifty profiles - a short, vetted list that stands up commercially and culturally, each candidate interviewed in depth and benchmarked against the market before you see them.
Interviews & references
We run the process with discipline - structured feedback loops, referencing completed before offer stage, and a clear read on each candidate's real motivations and alternatives.
Offer, close & onboarding
We manage the offer, the counter-offer, and the notice period - and stay close through the first months. Our retention record is the number we are proudest of.
We only work this market. That is the advantage you hire.
Deep DG & utility-scale coverage
We know who runs finance, development and operations at the developers, IPPs and platforms that matter - because we speak with them continuously, not when a search starts.
Real-time market intelligence
Compensation benchmarks, team structures, who is hiring and who is losing people - current intelligence from live conversations, folded into every brief we take.
United States & Germany
Two of the deepest renewable markets in the world, covered natively - including cross-border searches for platforms building on both sides of the Atlantic.
One search partner, for the whole business.
We place across the full organisational structure of a renewable energy business - Finance & Accounting, Commercial, Development, Construction, Engineering, Project Management, Legal, and C-suite & Leadership - for developers, IPPs, EPCs, owners/operators and investors.
Plus development, construction, engineering, project management, legal and C-suite mandates across the value chain.
We also build the teams behind the capital.
The businesses building renewable energy are only half the market. We work equally with the Private Equity, Credit, VC, Infrastructure Funds and Asset Managers that finance them - and their portfolio companies.
For these firms, we place investment professionals, deal teams, asset management and portfolio operations leadership, and fund-level finance and leadership hires - bringing the same sector fluency to the capital side of the market as we do to the operating side.
Operating businesses building and running portfolios.
Early-stage developers and corporates scaling fast.
Investors financing the sector's growth.
Long-horizon capital backing the asset base.
Managing and operating the built asset base.

Frequently asked questions
What should we expect in the first two weeks of a retained engagement?
The first two weeks are about precision. A partner takes the brief in detail, tests it against what the market can realistically offer, and agrees the profile, compensation range and timetable with you. Market mapping and the first discreet approaches begin in parallel, so by the end of the second week you have an early read on the candidate pool.
How do you assess candidates beyond the CV?
We assess what a CV cannot show. Each candidate is interviewed in depth against the brief, with attention to the decisions they have owned, the scale and stage of the businesses they have led, and how they work with boards and investors. Motivation and fit are tested as carefully as experience, so the shortlist holds up at interview.
Can you run a search confidentially, including replacing an incumbent?
Yes. Confidential searches, including those where an incumbent is still in role, are run with tightly controlled information. The client is not named during approaches, details are shared only with candidates who need them at each stage, and the brief is positioned so the market draws no conclusions. A partner manages every conversation personally.
Do you advise on compensation and offer structure?
Yes. We counsel on the full package, drawing on what we see in live searches and our published research. That covers base salary, bonus design and long-term incentives, and how to structure an offer that holds against a counter-offer. Our U.S. Renewable Energy Compensation Report 2026 sets out the benchmarks behind that advice.
Do you work with investors on portfolio company hires?
Yes. Private equity, private credit, infrastructure funds and asset managers engage us on leadership appointments across their renewable energy portfolios. We work alongside the investor and the management team to agree the brief, and calibrate candidates against the stage of the platform and the investment thesis, not the title alone.
