Industrials

Appreciating the diversity of the mining industry across commodities and geographies, our mining specialists have a thorough understanding of the means of processing each commodity, along with a cultural understanding of each country we work in, and its specific climatic and geographical conditions. 

From a recruitment perspective, the industry has its challenges: an ageing workforce, a lack of graduates coming into the industry and technology & automation changing the landscape of the personnel needed. 

Our strategic approach, combined with deep-rooted connections and a solid understanding of the sector, puts us in a unique position to reach a far broader pool of candidates than is possible through traditional search channels. This makes it possible for us to secure candidates across all functions in the sector, from C-suite level through to specialist engineers working onsite. 

We see the critical need for hiring expatriates onto projects, but also understand the importance of developing and securing local talent, so we continually invest in expanding our networks within the regions we operate. Operating from our HQ in London & base in New York, we’re ideally located to serve our mining clients based all over the world — providing key personnel for iron ore mines in Australia, gold projects in Canada, copper processing facilities in Chile or cobalt exploration teams in the DRC. 

Our clients within this division vary from FTSE 100 Major mining groups to TSXV Junior Miners, as well as the contractors and consultancies who assist them in the economic and safe exploitation of resources around the globe.

We’ve seen a major surge in renewable energy as carbon neutrality continues to move up the agenda for businesses and governments worldwide. To support this growth, we have specialists dedicated to the renewables sub-sector, working across wind, solar, hydropower and bioenergy.

We also understand the importance that nuclear and non-renewable power sources, such as coal and gas, still hold within the energy mix across the world, which is why we continue to dedicate specialists to recruit for roles within the non-renewables and nuclear sub-sectors.

With established networks spanning the energy sector, we've built a solid track record of quickly supplying our clients with qualified and experienced candidates for both permanent roles and interim deployments worldwide; From blue and white-collar engineers for the installation and maintenance of wind farms, to expatriates for a small scale developer in Africa, and HSE Executives in LATAM for global IPPs. We’ve also secured security-cleared design engineers & construction managers specialised in nuclear plant decommissioning, specialist consultants for the construction of major power plants in South East Asia, Asset Managers for a portfolio of Solar plants in Europe and Mechanical engineers for Hydro Power plants in Toronto.

We understand that the skills needed for each assignment will vary depending on regional conditions; It's not enough for candidates to have the right qualifications, they need specific experience and certifications relevant to your requirements. Every candidate we will bring forward, whether local or expat, will meet your exact criteria, no matter how specific.

Comprising of all essential structures & facilities for the ongoing operation and development of societies — from transport to municipalities and all the way through to shipping operations — infrastructure is our most diverse division.

As specialist recruitment consultants in the sector, we’ve seen how increasing demands on infrastructure has led to a growing need for candidates who are becoming harder to source through traditional search methods; highly-skilled specialists who will ensure projects are completed safely, on time and on budget, along with those who can subsequently ensure their profitable operation and ongoing management.

We have built long-term partnerships with clients worldwide, and work with them to quickly source highly-skilled candidates for both permanent roles and interim positions of flexible duration.

Our placements to date include contracted quantity surveyors, contract managers, planners and construction managers, through to the permanent placements of project teams deployed on tunnelling projects in Egypt, critical operational roles for leading container terminal businesses in Africa, Design Engineers for EPCMs for railway projects in Europe to Geotechnical engineers for dam stability analysis in the USA.

We have a long-standing heritage in the oil and gas industry, with strong relationships and networks across the sub-sector globally. Despite the impact that a lack of stability in price has had on the industry over recent years, we’ve remained fully invested in the market and in its longevity.

Our intimate knowledge of the industry across both the permanent and contract space allows us to partner with clients across the project life-cycle: from personnel working on FDPs or reservoir models in head office, to drilling teams on the rigs, through to downstream — supported by our HQ in London which gives us access to some of the best trading houses in Europe.

We partner with clients running both on and offshore projects & operations across the globe and working across a full range of geographies and climates, drawing on our networks to provide both permanent top-tier engineers and senior managers, and interim contract candidates deployed on assignments that range from months to years in duration.

We understand that an onshore operation in Algeria is going to require entirely different candidate to an offshore project in the North Sea, so we work to ensure the candidates we bring you don't just have the right skill-set, but the right practical experience working in similar conditions, with the relevant types of reservoirs, wells, equipment and software.
