Turner Lovell have successfully recruited personnel for organisations and projects across Europe, USA, Africa, Asia and Middle East. Using our global network, we have successfully attracted and introduced both local and international talent to projects in the UK and in places such as Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Norway, Ireland, USA, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Malaysia, Brazil and Chile.

Typical projects include HVDC convertor & cable installation, offshore wind farm development, HV substation construction, offshore platforms EPC, civil infrastructure construction and equipment commissioning.

With significant Government incentives and subsidies driving renewable energy and other infrastructure projects, the war for project management, engineering, power systems and construction personnel has intensified more than ever.

To help our clients we have identified that it was critical to build a deep network of talent across the industry that not only understand CDM and engineering principles but know how to connect facilities to the HV & MV grid. To develop this, we took a candidate-driven approach and built a unique high-touch service to understand their needs, availability, and gain their trust to secure referrals.

With the growing demand to improve the electricity grid many of our clients have come to us looking for new ways to meet the rising need for experienced talent. We have worked closely with them to develop untapped candidate pools of grid authorised and qualified contractors.

Critical to this process has been our candidate vetting system which ensures we achieve a high first strike rate and an equally low attrition rate.

The offshore wind industry is facing new challenges and complexities. The popularity of the industry has created significant talent pools; however, quantity doesn’t equal quality and talent identification is critical.

Using our advanced knowledge of the offshore wind environment and a high-quality network developed for over a decade, we have developed processes that allow us to pre-screen candidates that have the right competence and aptitude to work safely and effectively. Our multi-lingual team enables us to build local talent pools in each of the offshore wind hubs and across the value chain of developers and suppliers. This saves considerable time and reduces risks when building teams and talent pools in this competitive recruitment environment.

Many oil and gas operators and EPCs and service companies are using their expertise to drive innovations that advance the energy transition. Technology applications such as carbon capture and storage, hydrogen production and transportation, offshore floating wind and advanced automation / AI technology are on the rise.

Using our international network and rich database of high-quality professional in Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Middle East, we are enabling our clients to access talent in the renewable energy sector to support their transition activities. In addition, our tracking of candidates with previous work experience in the upstream oil and gas, allows our customers to access experienced engineering, offshore, commercial and leadership talent who now want to apply their skills across these new technology areas.
