Skilled labour. Reliable delivery. Career-ready placements.
Shape the Energy Shift with Skilled Onshore Trades
From utility projects to solar farms, today’s onshore energy projects rely on skilled tradespeople who can work safely, adapt quickly, and deliver results under pressure. Whether you're wiring up solar arrays, installing critical pipework, or carrying out essential welding work, your expertise is essential to keeping the energy supply secure and sustainable.
We connect qualified trades people from electricians, riggers, welders, mechanical fitters, and everything in between with roles that match their skills and ambitions. With major investment pouring into battery storage, hydrogen infrastructure, and grid resilience, opportunities for experienced trades professionals are growing rapidly—across the UK and globally.
In fact, over 85% of energy employers report difficulty hiring the skilled trades they need. That shortage means more choices, stronger contracts, and long-term potential for those ready to step in. Whether you’re after steady site work or the next leap in your career, we’re here to help you find the right fit—and thrive in it.



End-to-End Workforce Solutions for Onshore Trades
From solar farms to hydrogen sites, we provide clients with skilled tradespeople who are certified, compliant, and ready to deploy. When deadlines tighten, regulations shift, or supply chain issues arise, having the right workforce on site fast is essential to keep projects moving forward.
We support developers, utilities, and contractors through every phase of onshore projects, from construction to long-term maintenance. Whether you need to scale a site team or fill critical roles on short notice, we provide pre-vetted, technically aligned professionals who meet safety standards. Our tailored approach ensures each placement fits your operational needs.
We manage the full mobilisation process, navigating complex compliance regulations, handling safety documentation, and ensuring smooth site access certification. With experience across solar, battery storage, wind, and grid resilience, we help ensure your projects stay on track.
What We Offer:
- Certified trades professional across energy projects globally
