Spencer Ogden: the award-winning global energy recruitment specialistThe energy industry is an ever-changing landscape with a much publicised skills shortage. We recruit the best international talent across all energy sectors and provide industry-leading services to our clients and candidates that they won’t find elsewhere, whatever stage of the project life cycle.
In short, we’ve put our big industry experience and forward thinking where the action is.
With offices in the UK, Middle East, Asia Pac, Africa, Canada and the US, you’ll find us at the heart of industry growth, keeping pace with changing technologies and building strong, long-lasting relationships along the way.
Filling the energy skills gapAs the energy industry grows and evolves, the skills of its workforce have to follow suit. We specialise in knowing the right people for the job and our candidates have the unique experience and expertise that makes them an invaluable part of this evolution.
Working across all energy sectors is a big advantage too. We identify the skills that are transferable, which means emerging sectors get the full benefit of candidates who have honed their talents in more established markets. For example, those who have worked in offshore Oil and Gas have often acquired the correct offshore certificates that are needed to work in offshore wind
