Energy & Renewables
Specialist search for the people who develop, finance and deliver Australia's energy future.
Australia's energy transition is creating sustained demand for people who can move projects from strategy and investment through construction, commissioning and operations.
Aequalis Consulting provides director-led executive and specialist search across energy and major-project environments. We recruit professionals who combine sector experience with the commercial judgement, delivery capability and stakeholder skills required to turn investment into operating assets.
Where we work
-
Renewable generation, including solar, wind and battery storage
-
Transmission, grid infrastructure and network investment
-
Utilities, water and essential services
-
Gas, pipelines and energy infrastructure
-
Energy project advisory, transactions and project finance
-
Construction, commissioning, operations and asset management
Across development, delivery and operations
Energy organisations often need capability that sits across traditional disciplines. A commercial leader may need detailed construction knowledge. A project professional may need to navigate approvals, landholders, grid connection and complex contracting structures. An advisory hire may need to understand both financial outcomes and delivery reality.
We define the search around the project stage, commercial context and outcomes required - not simply a generic job title.

Why energy appointments are difficult to get right
-
The talent pool is specialised - Relevant project and commercial experience cannot always be transferred from an unrelated industry.
-
Strong people are rarely active - Many of the best candidates need to be identified and approached directly.
-
Project context matters - Technology, contract model, project stage, location and stakeholder environment all affect fit.
-
Hiring delays have consequences - An extended vacancy can slow decisions, increase pressure on the existing team and affect delivery.
