Frequently asked questions
A green technology recruitment agency sources and places engineers, project managers and technical specialists for emerging low-carbon technologies - including green hydrogen, EV infrastructure, carbon capture and storage and advanced energy storage systems. ERSG places cleantech professionals with technology developers, infrastructure companies, industrial end-users and the investors and contractors building out low-carbon energy systems globally.
Hydrogen roles include electrolyser engineers, process engineers for hydrogen production and purification, hydrogen storage and compression specialists, fuel cell engineers, hydrogen project managers, safety and risk specialists (HAZOP, QRA), hydrogen distribution network engineers and operations technicians for hydrogen production facilities. Policy and commercial roles in hydrogen market development, offtake negotiations and regulatory engagement are also growing as the market matures.
Green hydrogen is produced by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using electrolysis powered by renewable electricity, resulting in zero direct carbon emissions. It is positioned as a key solution for decarbonising industrial processes, shipping and aviation that cannot easily be electrified directly. The scaling of green hydrogen production requires significant engineering talent - from electrolyser installation and commissioning through grid connection, storage and distribution - driving growing demand for specialist professionals.
EV charging infrastructure creates roles including electrical installation engineers, network design engineers, civil engineers for groundworks and ducting, grid connection specialists, project managers for rapid charging network rollout and depot electrification, firmware and software engineers for charge point management systems and operations technicians maintaining live networks. Fleet electrification consultants and commercial leads working on large-scale depot transition projects are also in demand.
Green technology careers carry some early-market risk - emerging technologies can scale more slowly than projected, and some companies in the space are venture-backed with funding dependencies. However, government policy commitment to decarbonisation, infrastructure investment mandates, and corporate net-zero targets are creating durable long-term demand across hydrogen, EV & CCS. Professionals with transferable energy engineering skills (electrical, mechanical, project management) are well positioned to move between cleantech sub-sectors as markets mature.
Most technical hydrogen roles require relevant engineering qualifications - mechanical, chemical, or electrical engineering at degree or HND level. Knowledge of pressure systems and hazardous area classification is valuable given the properties of hydrogen. Process engineers working on hydrogen production typically benefit from a background in oil and gas, industrial gases or chemical processing. Safety case and HAZOP experience is highly valued for risk-critical hydrogen facilities.
Graduate cleantech engineers typically earn £28,000–£38,000. Mid-level hydrogen or EV infrastructure engineers typically earn £45,000–£65,000. Senior technical leads and project managers in hydrogen or CCS typically earn £70,000–£95,000. The sector is competitive for talent, and salaries at growth-stage companies are often supplemented with equity or options.
