Talent for the industries that don't exist yet.
Executive search built on two decades placing engineers and leaders across Oil & Gas, EPC, Shipbuilding, Renewable Energy, and Automotive — now applied to the six industries writing the next industrial chapter.
The bridge between two industrial eras
The skills that built oil rigs, breweries, and car plants are the same skills the next industrial economy needs: safety discipline, supply-chain rigor, and the ability to scale a factory from zero. That foundation transfers directly.
Where the expertise comes from
- Oil & Gas — Offshore & Onshore EPC
- Shipbuilding
- Renewable Energy
- Automotive Manufacturing
- FMCG & Industrial Production
Where it's going
- Humanoid Robotics & Physical Automation
- Drones & Autonomous Systems
- Critical Minerals & Rare Earths
- Green Aviation
- Photovoltaics & Battery Storage
Six industries, one search partner
Specialists, engineers, and leaders — from individual contributors to C-level — across the sectors defining the next decade of industrial technology.
Humanoid Robots & Physical Automation
Robotics engineers, control systems, embodied-AI researchers, and the operations leaders who scale a pilot into a production line.
Drones & Autonomous Systems
Autonomy and computer-vision engineers, BVLOS pilots, and the certification specialists keeping pace with fast-moving aviation regulation.
Critical Minerals & Rare Earths
Geologists, metallurgical engineers, and mine operations leaders building the supply chains Western industry has spent decades without.
Green Aviation
Propulsion and hydrogen-systems engineers, and the certification leads who can get a new airframe through FAA and EASA.
Photovoltaics
Process and manufacturing engineers, and utility-scale project managers taking solar from gigafactory to grid.
Battery & Energy Storage
Electrochemists, BMS engineers, and gigafactory operations leaders scaling the next generation of storage.
Four ways to work together
Matched to the seniority and rarity of the role — from a first technician hire to a confidential C-level search.
| Package | Best for | Payment structure |
|---|---|---|
| Technical Sourcing | Technicians & operators | Due on start date, no retainer |
| Specialist Search | Rare technical specialists | 25–30% at signing, balance at placement |
| Management Search | Middle management | Contingency, or 1/3 upfront by agreement |
| Executive Search | Top management & C-level | Retained — 1/3 at signing, shortlist, and start |
How I work
