VHR is an international energy and renewables recruitment company connecting skilled professionals with organisations developing, constructing and maintaining the infrastructure that powers homes, businesses and communities.
We provide contract, permanent and executive recruitment solutions across renewable energy, power infrastructure, utilities and energy storage. Our consultants support employers throughout the project lifecycle, from initial design and development to construction, installation, commissioning, operations and maintenance.
Led by professionals with both technical knowledge of renewable energy and extensive recruitment expertise, VHR’s Wind & Renewables team guarantees the industry insight, service excellence, and on-time talent deployment required for sustainable growth and success.
Specialist Energy Recruitment
Energy projects rely on people with highly specialised technical and commercial experience. A shortage of the right skills can affect construction schedules, grid connections, commissioning programmes and the long-term performance of operational assets. VHR works with developers, utilities, engineering businesses, EPC contractors, equipment manufacturers and infrastructure investors to identify professionals suited to the technical demands of each project.
We can assist with one critical appointment or coordinate recruitment across several disciplines and project locations.
Renewable Energy Sectors
Our renewable energy recruitment services cover offshore and onshore wind, solar power, battery energy storage systems and supporting electrical infrastructure.
We recruit professionals for projects at different stages of development, including planning, engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning and asset maintenance. This gives employers access to candidates with experience across both project delivery and operational environments.
VHR also supports organisations working on substations, transformers, switchgear, power distribution equipment, grid connections and high-voltage infrastructure. These systems are essential to connecting renewable developments and maintaining a reliable electricity network.

Powering Energy Projects with Specialist Talent
Energy businesses often need to increase workforce capacity quickly as projects move from development into construction and commissioning. VHR’s contract recruitment service provides access to specialist professionals for defined project stages, urgent assignments and temporary increases in workload. Our permanent recruitment service helps employers strengthen their internal capability and retain important technical knowledge. We use targeted searches and specialist candidate networks to recruit professionals who can support long-term projects, operational assets and business growth.
Energy and renewables projects increasingly bring together employers, contractors and technical professionals from several countries. VHR recruits across the UK, Europe, the Middle East and wider international markets, helping clients access skills that may not be available locally. Our global reach is particularly valuable for specialist electrical, construction, commissioning and maintenance requirements.
We support recruitment for both offshore and onshore locations, adapting each search to the project schedule, employment structure and practical requirements of mobilising candidates.
Wind, solar and battery storage projects each present different engineering, construction and operational challenges. VHR helps employers find candidates whose experience is relevant to the technology, project scale and working environment involved.
Our wind energy recruitment network covers professionals supporting turbine installation, electrical works, commissioning, inspection, servicing and maintenance across offshore and onshore developments.
For solar and battery energy storage projects, we recruit technical, commercial and site-based professionals involved in civil works, electrical infrastructure, equipment installation, grid integration and project delivery. This includes experience across utility-scale solar farms and BESS developments.
The energy transition requires expertise across engineering, construction, commercial management and technical operations. VHR recruits planning engineers, design engineers, electrical engineers, civil and structural engineers, project managers, construction managers, commissioning managers, service engineers and maintenance technicians.
Our network also includes industrial electricians, HV/LV cable jointers, field service engineers, quantity surveyors, cost engineers, surveyors, mechanical supervisors, testing engineers, inspection technicians, SHEQ professionals and senior project leaders. By looking beyond a candidate’s job title, our consultants assess their technical background, project experience, location, availability and understanding of the relevant energy environment.
