Industry
Uniting visionaries and industry leaders for a sustainable future.
From climate tech start-ups to global powerhouses, we partner with the companies designing, building, and scaling solutions for a net-zero future. Whether you're refining your first prototype, launching in new markets, or evolving your global operations, we provide the talent and insight to help you move faster.
We understand the pace, pressure, and purpose that drives industry, and we tailor our approach to match.
Early-Stage Innovators
Pre-revenue to post-Series A
We work closely with pioneering founders and lean teams bringing first-of-a-kind technologies to life. At this stage, every hire counts, and we’re here to help you build the right foundation.
- Talent strategy and hands-on search for your first key commercial and technical hires
- Access to candidates with start-up resilience and deep industry experience
- Flexible solutions to support fast pivots and lean team growth
You focus on breakthrough tech and we’ll help you find the right people to take it to market.
Growth-Stage Companies
Series B+ or entering new markets
Scaling comes with its own challenges: new geographies, growing teams, and increasing complexity. We help companies move from founder-led hiring to a structured approach that still feels agile.
- International hiring strategies to support expansion
- Leadership search across commercial, operations, and technical functions
- Interim and contract talent to support project ramp-up or transition
We bring the structure and speed you need to scale sustainably.
Established Businesses
Public companies, global operators, or scaling mid-size firms
For mature organisations leading the energy transition, we provide more than recruitment, we become an extension of your team. Whether you're navigating new regulations, scaling complex infrastructure, or evolving your organisational structure, we offer insight-driven support grounded in sector expertise. We understand the nuances of hiring at this level: the need for leaders who can balance innovation with compliance, global oversight with local execution, and commercial performance with sustainability impact.
- Executive and strategic hiring for specialist functions
- Succession planning and talent mapping across business-critical roles
- Contract and interim support for major infrastructure or transformation projects
We’re a long-term partner with the track record and expertise to support your evolution.
