Power & Energy Recruitment

Recruitment across infrastructure is gaining ever-increasing momentum. In order to best support this, Linear Recruitment is combining our Rail & Transport division with both Highways & Infrastructure and our Power & Utilities teams. 

With natural crossover and a strong track record of delivery in all those sectors, we’re further strengthening our capabilities by becoming one solid group: Rail, Power & Infrastructure. 

This clarifies who we are and what we do: 

  • RISQS accredited (five stars), our specialist Rail Consultants deliver high quality service, offering to our Rail candidates and clients Safety Critical and non-safety critical positions
  • Our history in transmission & distribution, Electric and Gas, makes us a leading agency with genuine capacity to provide proven candidates on a national basis

Power & Utilities is one of the fastest growing areas for professional recruitment and the number of energy sector jobs is increasing exponentially every year. Encompassing traditional power generation jobs, essential utilities jobs and renewable energy jobs, this sector is set to continue expanding for years to come as the UK’s reliance on renewable energy sources grows to 30% by 2020.

Over the past 19 years, Linear Recruitment has built extensive relationships with high-quality power and utilities job candidates and have access to the most desirable vacancies in the energy industry. We work on BESC, SHEA and NRSWA roles amongst a wide range of others.

We’re uniquely placed to support ambitious, proactive energy job seekers to secure high-level employment opportunities in the rapidly growing power generation sector, whilst empowering employers in the energy and utilities sectors to continue sourcing, recruiting and retaining top-level talent at an ever-accelerating pace.

Power and Utilities Disciplines We Work Across

Our Power & Utilities division is located centrally at our Sheffield office, and services the whole of the UK.

This specialist team works exclusively with Power & Utilities candidates and energy sector clients, operating on temporary, contract and permanent job contracts.

  • Telecoms infrastructure maintenance and installation

Understanding our clients’ needs and the individual assignments or projects being undertaken is key to ensuring we source the correct candidates into open power, utilities and energy jobs. This attention to detail and understanding of project lifecycles means we are able to source and place candidates into jobs across the entire spectrum of power and utilities recruitment. 

Energy jobs we recruit for might include, but are not limited to:
