YOUR EXPERIENCE IS
OUR EXPERTISE

We recruit across Power T&D – the engineers, managers and specialists upgrading networks, delivering grid connections, and operating private networks.

THE SECTOR
POWERING OUR FUTURE

Transmission

Specialist recruitment for Transmission Owners and their supply chains.

The Great Grid Upgrade is set to support up to 55,000 jobs – yet the skills and experience it needs are scarce in the transmission market.

You’ll have access to a trusted network of subject matter experts and senior leaders across engineering, programme delivery and commercial management. When your project needs substation, overhead line, cable or HVDC experience – we know the people you need, and what it takes for them to move.

ROLE TYPES

Project Managers Substation Design Engineers OHL Engineers Protection & Control Engineers HVDC Engineers Commissioning Engineers Construction Managers Commercial & QS

CLIENTS

Transmission Owners Independent Transmission Owners OFTOs Owner's Engineers EPC Contractors HVDC & Cable Specialists

MARKET SNAPSHOT

The UK's Transmission network is facing its biggest rewiring since the 1950s. Ofgem's RIIO-T3 puts over £28bn of funding behind a pipeline of £90bn+ to be delivered between 2026–2031 – driving new EHV substations, upgraded overhead line routes, and HVDC links such as Eastern Green Link 1, 2 and 3.

Distribution

Hiring for grid connections, network upgrades and maintenance schemes.

Electrification is putting distribution networks under pressure – EV charging, heat pumps, new housing and data centres all need new connections and more capacity.

Build your delivery team from feasibility to energisation – before your competitors get to the same people.

ROLE TYPES

CLIENTS

Distribution Network Operators Independent Distribution Network Operators Independent Connection Providers Framework Contractors Design Consultancies Multi-Utility Providers

MARKET SNAPSHOT

Connection timescales are the biggest constraint on new developments. IDNOs and ICPs are competing for the same engineers and delivery teams. It's the approach, speed of process and pay that often dictate who attracts the right talent – and who wins the work.

Off-grid

Recruiting the teams designing, building and maintaining behind-the-meter systems.

Data centres, industrial sites and large estates are building their own HV networks to get round grid constraints, keep the power on and control energy costs.

Secure specialist engineering and commercial talent to design, build and operate your independent power assets.

ROLE TYPES

Electrical Design Engineers BESS Engineers SCADA & Controls Engineers Commissioning Engineers HV Authorised Persons Project & Construction Managers O&M Engineers Business Development Managers

CLIENTS

Data Centre Developers & Operators BESS Developers Private Network Operators Industrial & Large Energy Users Asset Managers & Investors LV/HV Electrical Contractors O&M Providers

MARKET SNAPSHOT

With connection queues pushing offer dates into the 2030s, data centres, industrial sites and critical facilities are building behind the meter instead – on-site generation, BESS and their own HV power infrastructure. It's the fastest-growing part of the market, and the smallest talent pool.
