Renewable Energy Executive Search and Recruitment Specialists

AP GlobalEnergy recruits for renewable energy developers, IPPs, utilities, EPC contractors and equipment suppliers across wind, solar, energy storage, geothermal, bioenergy and grid. We fill development, engineering, construction, operations, commercial and senior leadership roles internationally.

Most of our assignments are for experienced hires who have taken projects through a specific stage, from origination and permitting through to financial close, construction and long-term operation.

Areas we cover

Onshore and offshore wind. Development, engineering, construction, O&M and grid connection.
Solar. Utility-scale and C&I solar, from development and EPC to asset management.
Energy storage. BESS development, engineering, commissioning and operations, often co-located with solar and wind.
Geothermal. Resource development, drilling, power plant and direct-use projects.
Biofuels and renewable fuels. Production, feedstocks, operations and supply chain.
Grid and integration. Grid connection, transmission, substations and smart grid technology.
Hydropower and marine energy where client projects require it.

Who we recruit for

Renewable developers and independent power producers
Utilities and energy companies with renewable portfolios
EPC and BOP contractors
Turbine, module, inverter and battery manufacturers
O&M and asset management providers
Infrastructure funds and their operating platforms

Roles we recruit

Project Development Managers and Directors, Grid Connection Managers, Electrical and Civil Engineers, Project and Construction Managers, Site Managers, Package Managers, Commissioning Engineers, O&M and Asset Managers, Procurement and Contracts Managers, HSE Directors, PPA and Origination Managers, Country Managers, COOs and CEOs.

International recruitment

Renewable platforms often expand into new countries before they have a local team, and the experience they need may be in another market. We recruit from offices in London, Paris, Luxembourg, Geneva, Zurich, Cyprus, Dubai, Singapore, New York and Toronto, and search internationally for candidates who have delivered in comparable regulatory and grid environments.

Where specialist recruitment helps

Market entry. First hires in a new country, often a Country Manager or Head of Development, shape everything that follows.
Grid and permitting experience. Knowledge of a specific grid operator or consenting regime is hard to find outside that market.
Construction peaks. Multiple projects reaching construction at once create competition for the same project managers and engineers.
Transferable skills. Many strong candidates come from oil and gas, utilities or construction, and need to be assessed for the right transferable experience.
