About Us
Most project directors have a story about a recruiter who didn’t deliver. A CV dump with no context. A candidate who pulled out two weeks before a critical phase. A placement that looked fine on paper but didn’t understand the site.
We built IEP because that’s not good enough, and because renewable energy projects are too important to get the talent piece wrong.

The Wrong Hire Costs More Than a Fee
Solar, BESS, and grid infrastructure projects are complex, regulated, and time-critical. The experienced professionals who deliver them are in short supply, and when the wrong person is in the wrong role, you feel it fast.
That’s why we don’t just fill roles. We get in alongside you, help you think through your whole team structure, spot the gaps before they become problems, and stay invested long after the placement is made.
Candidate Testimonial
"I recently worked with Impact Energy Partners on securing my next role, and the whole process was extremely smooth
and fast-paced. From initial contact through to offer, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. The entire recruitment process took just over a week, which is one of the quickest and most seamless experiences I’ve had.
They presented me with a great opportunity that was well aligned to my experience, kept me informed throughout,
and ensured I was well prepared at every stage of the interview process. It was clear they had a strong relationship with the client, which made the process feel straightforward and well managed. I was pleased to progress through to offer stage and ultimately secure the role.
Overall, I was really impressed with how Impact Energy Partners handled everything and would definitely recommend
them to others."

Why It Matters Who You Work With
Impact Energy Partners is part of the Commercial Services Group (CSG), one of the UK’s largest Local Authority Trading Companies. We operate with the commercial expertise and agility of the private sector, but we are not driven by shareholder returns or a board chasing a pay day. Every penny of profit we generate is reinvested back into public services.
When you choose to work with us, you are not lining the pockets of a CEO. You are contributing to communities. It's not a marketing ploy, it is fundamental to how we operate and why we work the way we do. For clients, it means a partner that is financially stable, publicly accountable, and built for long-term outcomes, not short-term wins.
