FAQ

Common questions.

What is renewable energy executive search?

It's retained search for the development, EPC, asset-management, investment and commercial leaders who take renewable energy projects from pipeline to operating asset. We've placed into this sector since 2010, back when it still needed explaining. It doesn't anymore.

Which renewable technologies do you cover?

Solar, onshore and offshore wind, geothermal, green hydrogen, hydropower, tidal, bioenergy and battery storage, spanning development, EPC, origination, asset management & power & trading leadership.

How fast is your shortlist?

Two to four weeks to a first shortlist, with 98% of retained searches filled.

Do you work with private equity-backed renewables platforms?

Yes, regularly. Most of our renewables mandates come from investors scaling a platform after acquisition, or standing up a platform around a founding team.

Why not just use a generalist executive search firm for a renewables hire?

You can. You'll get a longer search and a shortlist your competitors have probably already seen. You will also be paying them up front to learn the company and role. Renewable Energy has been through enough hiring cycles that the senior candidate pool is well known to anyone actually embedded in the sector, and that's a network you either have or you don't.
