Specialist recruitment for WIND & SOLAR HIRING

Specialist focus - We recruit for the trades and technical roles that keep wind farms, solar parks and battery sites running, with wider coverage across power and grid, construction and commissioning, project and site management, and critical facilities. We know the certifications, the rates and the site realities, so briefs are qualified on the first call.

Speed to shortlist - We start from a database of tens of thousands of wind, solar and wider energy candidates, so most searches begin with people we already know rather than a blank advert. Every vacancy is logged and qualified the same working day. We advise on the rate, give a realistic timeline, and ensure candidates have been spoken to about your specific job before they reach you.

Compliance built in - Right to work, certification and competence evidence, including reference checks, are reviewed and recorded before placement, not after. Every contract placement is documented from the first shift and auditable for a PQQ or supplier audit.

RECRUITMENT MODELS

Contract and project crews - Compliant contract supply for outages, campaigns, construction phases and project peaks, from a single technician to a multi-role crew mobilised against your milestones. IR35 status determinations, insurance and payroll via umbrella, CIS or limited company handled as standard.

Permanent hires - Contingent search for technical, trade and professional roles. Qualified briefs, screened shortlists inside an agreed turnaround, and support through to start date and beyond, backed by a replacement guarantee.

Retained search - For senior, scarce or confidential appointments where a dedicated, exclusive search delivers a better outcome than a contingent one.

PSL supply - We are set up to work inside your preferred supplier list, neutral vendor or MSP arrangement: onboarding documentation, rate cards, release lists and reporting completed properly and on time.

Wind - Wind Turbine Service and Maintenance Technicians, Blade and Rope access Technicians, GWO-certified crews, HV and Commissioning Engineers, O&M Supervisors and Site Managers.

Solar and storage - Solar PV Installers and Electricians, Solar O&M and Field Service Engineers, BESS Technicians and Commissioning Engineers, EV Charging and Battery Installers.

COMPLIANCE AND ON-BOARDING

Energy and infrastructure sites are regulated environments, and a labour supplier's compliance is part of the client's own. We operate to the full UK employment agency framework across contract and permanent work, and to a documented verification standard for every worker supplied: certification (including GWO, BOSIET and trade qualifications), right to work, employment references and competence evidence, recorded and auditable. IR35 status determinations, insurance certificates, policies and references are available on request for PQQs and supplier audits.
