Featured Energy, Power & Utilities Recruitment Roles

Power & Energy Recruitment Experts

Linear Recruitment has combined our Power & Utilities division with our Rail & Transport and Highways & Infrastructure recruitment 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 article explains more

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, essential utilities 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. We service the whole of the UK from our Sheffield Head office, and operate on temporary, contract and permanent job contracts across both white collar and blue collar roles.

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. Linear Recruitment candidates placed into temporary and contact roles are also supported post-employment as we place them in new roles once their existing assignments are complete.
