Utilities Recruitment
Specialist Tech Recruitment For Utilities And Energy
Building Tech Teams For Critical Infrastructure That Last
Power grids, water networks, smart meters. Utility companies run on systems that can’t afford to fail. But behind the scenes, many are overhauling the tech that keeps those services running. Legacy systems are being replaced. Security is tightening. Cloud infrastructure and smart data tools are becoming standard.
We support this shift with utilities recruitment built around the sector’s real pressures. From SAP recruitment and cloud upgrades to cybersecurity for operational tech, we hire for the projects that keep infrastructure live and future-ready.
Whether it’s contract IT recruitment for an urgent rollout or permanent hires to drive long-term change, we connect utilities teams with people who understand the job and the environment they’ll be walking into.
What Makes Hiring in Utilities Different
Utilities don’t get downtime. Whether it’s energy, water or waste, systems have to keep running while tech teams upgrade what’s behind them. That takes experience, not just skills.
Smart grid projects, cloud migration, and predictive maintenance are reshaping hiring across the sector. Demand is growing for people who understand complex infrastructure and how to modernise it without disruption.
We recruit for roles like:
- SAP consultants with experience in utility operations
- Cybersecurity engineers focused on OT and infrastructure resilience
- Cloud architects who’ve migrated legacy systems into scalable environments
- Data and BI analysts working on smart metering and infrastructure forecasting
Our consultants specialise in both the technologies and markets they recruit for. That means better shortlists, faster hiring, and candidates with the right experience from day one.

Executive search
For strategic roles, we run targeted searches for people who understand both the pace of digital transformation and the demands of critical infrastructure. This includes Heads of IT, Transformation Directors, and senior SAP architects.
