Power & Energy Sector Recruitment

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.
