Renewable energy is one of the fastest growing sectors in the UK. Compared with the rest of Europe, the UK is also an emerging market, which means that it can be difficult to find suitable candidates with relevant experience or with the appropriate skills for renewables.
We often help our clients by finding suitable candidates working in traditional industries. For example, for clients developing wind turbines, we can find people with the expertise in composite materials working in the aerospace industry. We can do this because we take the time to get a detailed understanding of the job specification and research other sectors that offer similar skills. We also find candidates through referrals: people who aren't actively looking but that other agencies don't have access to.
We work across the entire sector, recruiting for wind, marine (including tidal and wave power), solar and other clean technologies.

TNEI
TNEI is an independent energy consultancy specialising in new energy technologies. In its fast growing and dynamic market place, TNEI needed experienced engineers to manage a diverse range of projects.
"Austin Fraser is more proactive in their dealings with TNEI Services than any other agency we work with. The quality of the candidates is excellent, as Austin Fraser take the time to identify what we are looking for and only supply us with relevant CVs.
We are extremely satisfied with the level of service we receive; Austin Fraser has supplied us with six new recruits since February 2011. We hope to continue working with Austin Fraser for the foreseeable future. They are professional, friendly and extremely efficient."
Airbus
Airbus leads the world in the design and manufacture of commercial aircraft. The Airbus approach is to ensure that aircraft share the highest possible degree of commonality, which reduces the operating costs for airlines.
Airbus wanted to attract highly talented and experienced engineering professionals driven by a pioneering spirit and a passion for aeronautics.
“The team at Austin Fraser is extremely customer focused. They took a lot of time upfront to understand our business and the requirements of the technical positions that we recruit for. The result is that they can put forward a couple of candidates for a job and we know that they will be a very good fit.
Austin Fraser’s service takes the recruitment burden away from our management team. We simply don’t have time to trawl through hundreds of CVs, which in our experience is what a lot of other recruitment agencies give you. Another thing that we like about their approach is that they are completely honest with us. If we are asking for the impossible, they will tell us rather than promise something that they cannot deliver, which means we can plan accordingly.”
Spirent
Spirent Communications advances the next generation of communications systems, from design and development, to the delivery of network devices and solutions.
"Austin Fraser have been employed primarily to supply Spirent Communications with contract and permanent engineering design staff for hardware, software and test. I have found Austin Fraser a pleasure to deal with and we have, over a short period of time, built up a strong working relationship."
