Recruitment for solar, power and energy companies
We take permanent sales, project and plant briefs from energy businesses. A rooftop sales role and a role at a remote plant call for different experience and working arrangements.
- Identify the segment and whether the employer develops, builds, supplies or operates projects.
- Specify the site or territory, travel, relocation and the responsibilities the hire will own.
Energy and renewables roles we recruit for
The largest share of our energy briefs is in selling, whether to homeowners, factory owners or power buyers. Plant engineering comes next, then project and compliance roles.
Solar and energy sales
- Sales Executive
- Business Development Manager
- Head of Sales
We look for sellers who can explain payback, net metering and subsidy paperwork to a homeowner or a plant head, and for sales heads who have built and run a state-wide team in your segment.
Techno-commercial and projects
- Sales Engineer
- Project Manager
We look for people who can survey a site, size and price a system, and carry it through DISCOM and electrical inspector approvals to commissioning without losing the margin.
Company secretarial and compliance
- Company Secretary
We look for company secretaries who have kept board and statutory filings in order for groups that run several project or plant entities, where lender paperwork never stops.
What makes energy hiring hard
Solar sales needs technical answers
Solar buyers ask about payback, net metering, roof strength and subsidy paperwork before they sign. Sellers from consumer durables rarely have those answers, and engineers who know them have often never carried a target. Rooftop sales to homeowners through dealers also differs sharply from commercial and industrial deals with a factory owner and a procurement team.
How we handle it: As a solar recruitment agency, we record segment, ticket size and sales motion in the brief. AI helps assess applications against that brief, and recruiters review profiles and hand-pick the shortlist, checking where each candidate has actually closed deals.
The job is where the site is
Many energy roles are not in a metro. Project, plant and field sales roles sit in smaller industrial towns, near solar parks, or across a whole state. Metro candidates often decline once they see the location, and those who accept may not know the local DISCOM, the inspectors or the language.
How we handle it: We brief by site and territory, not just by city. Recruiters look first at people who already live near the territory and confirm relocation, travel and language before a profile reaches your dashboard, so your interviews go to people open to the location.
Same title, different jobs
A project manager at a rooftop installer runs small crews across many sites; at an EPC contractor, the same title runs a large site with civil, electrical and transmission contractors. A business development manager may build dealer networks, bid for tenders or negotiate power purchase agreements. Matching on title alone produces people who look right and are not.
How we handle it: Your brief tells us whether you are an EPC contractor, developer, manufacturer or O&M provider, and what the role actually runs. Recruiters use the brief and AI-assisted assessment to consider relevant work alongside the candidate’s title.

Water treatment and waste management companies, with briefs ranging from sales leadership to purchase and company secretarial roles.
What we ask for in an energy brief
In energy, a title and a budget rarely tell us enough: a rooftop seller and a utility-scale business developer can share both. These are the inputs that most change who reaches your shortlist.
- SegmentResidential rooftop, commercial and industrial, utility scale or open access.
- Business modelEPC contractor, developer, manufacturer or O&M provider, since each changes what the role involves.
- Site and territoryBase location, states covered, travel, and whether relocation to a site is expected.
- Technical depthWhat the person handles alone: site surveys, system sizing, bills of quantities, single-line diagrams, or DISCOM and inspector approvals.
- Sales motionDirect, dealer and channel, or tenders and power contracts, and who signs the deal.

Where we hire for energy companies
