Advance TRS provides specialist technical recruitment solutions across the energy and renewables sector, supporting the design, development, construction, and operation of critical energy infrastructure.
Energy & Renewables Recruitment
Our team works closely with developers, utility providers, engineering consultancies, EPC contractors, and infrastructure operators to supply highly skilled professionals who enable the successful delivery of complex energy programmes. With a strong understanding of the technical, regulatory, and operational requirements of the sector, we support projects across the full lifecycle of energy infrastructure, from early-stage development and design through to construction, commissioning, and long-term operations.
As the UK accelerates towards Net Zero and delivers major programmes such as The Great Grid Upgrade, demand for skilled professionals across energy infrastructure continues to grow, further intensified by an ageing workforce and a widening skills shortage. We support organisations navigating this transition, ensuring access to the talent required to deliver resilient, low-carbon energy systems.
Our specialist recruiters support projects across the full energy and renewables landscape, including wind, solar, wave and tidal, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), transmission and distribution, substations, grid integration, nuclear, hydrogen production, and carbon capture, among others.
