Contract Recruitment for Renewable Energy
Fast, compliant and sector-specific. We place contract professionals across renewable energy and infrastructure so your projects stay on track.
SERVICE OVERVIEW
The Right Contractor at the Right Moment.
For project-driven sectors like renewable energy, the right contractor at the right moment keeps programmes on schedule and budgets in check. The wrong hire, or a delayed one, does the opposite.
ERSG has placed over 20,000 contract professionals since 2008. That number demonstrates our understanding of the market: the rates, the qualifications, the compliance required and the specific disciplines that move projects forward. Our clients get sector-specific resources with compliance managed from day one.
We operate globally across the UK, Europe, the US and Asia, with additional in-country employed solutions across EMEA and South America. From a single commissioning engineer on a three-month contract to a 50-person mobilisation for an offshore construction campaign, we deliver.
- IR35 assessment and compliance managed as standard
- Global network: contractors available across the UK, Europe, the US and Asia.
- In-country employed solutions across EMEA and South America
- Payroll, visa sponsorship and background checks handled
- Renewable energy specialists, not a generalist agency
