Client Challenge
Our client, a leading BioGas and renewable energy company, was expanding its operations and needed to hire specialist talent to drive their sustainability strategy. They were looking for professionals who could help them optimise their Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems, reduce carbon emissions, and integrate new low-carbon technologies into their infrastructure. A shortage of experienced candidates with both technical expertise and a passion for sustainability. Difficulty in attracting talent who aligned with their long-term environmental goals. The need for a strategic hiring approach that prioritised low-carbon innovation.
