Energy and infrastructure hiring is
harder than it's ever been

You know this. The talent pool for experienced engineers, project leaders, and technical specialists is shrinking while demand accelerates. And the cost of a wrong hire — or an unfilled role — hits your project timelines, your budgets, and your clients.

Cross-sector competition for scarce skills

The talent you need are being pursued by oil & gas, renewables, utilities, and infrastructure firms simultaneously. If you’re only looking within your own sector, you’re missing the candidates who could make the biggest impact.

Project timelines that can't slip

You can’t afford to leave a Project Director role open for six months. But you also can’t afford to hire someone who doesn’t deliver. Most recruiters force you to choose. We don’t.

Technical skills plus safety and culture fit

A great candidate profile doesn’t mean a great hire. In safety-critical, project-driven environments, where leadership is under pressure and cross-functional collaboration matter, the wrong fit can derail more than just a project.

Here's how we solve it

A Hiring Operating System built for
energy and infrastructure

We’ve spent 27+ years refining how we find, assess, and secure talent for energy and infrastructure companies. Here’s what makes it work.

Cross-sector sourcing for transferable skills

Our 6S methodology goes beyond job titles. We map where relevant skills exist, including adjacent sectors, and use forensic sourcing to reach passive candidates others can’t find. Roles delivered in 60+ countries.

Technical AND motivational fit

The 6F methodology assesses what drives a candidate — Fit, Family, Freedom, Fortune, Fun, Future. We don’t just check if they can do the job. We check if they’ll relocate, adapt to your culture, and commit to your project timeline.

Guarantees that mean something

Every placement is backed by a 12-month guarantee (18 months for executives). If it doesn’t work out, we fix it. That’s the confidence that comes from a process that works 97% of the time.
