When the hire matters, the search has to deliver.

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.

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.

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.

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.
