The people behind the world’s energy.
Charrington is a specialist search firm for the global energy and renewables sector — executive search, contingent hiring and complete project teams, delivered with total transparency on fees and contracts.
Round-the-clock delivery from Toronto, London & Hong Kong
energy focus

hubs
a full project team
A complete talent partner, from the financial desk to project completion.
We provide a bespoke, turnkey service across the full hiring lifecycle — a single senior appointment or an entire onshore and offshore team, delivered at the pace live projects demand.
Leadership that sets the standard
Board, director and senior technical appointments across the energy value chain. A discreet, research-led process built for the hires that shape a project’s outcome — where the right person is worth finding, not just filling.
The right people, mobilised fast
Contract and project workforces sourced, vetted and deployed to meet demanding schedules. From individual specialists to scaled crews, we keep projects moving without compromising on quality or compliance.
A turnkey solution, onshore and offshore
Complete teams built to the shape of the work — from the financial desk through to project completion. We deliver talent on a global scale, assembling and mobilising entire onshore and offshore teams as a single, managed engagement.
Every certificate, accounted for
A dedicated compliance team collates every certification and shares it directly with the end client, with 24/7 emergency coverage as standard. Documentation is never the thing that holds a mobilisation up.
Focused where it matters. Built to grow.
We begin in the markets we know to the greatest depth — a focused, transferable skillset that runs across each of them — and build outward from a position of genuine expertise rather than spreading thin.

These are the disciplines where our founder has personally built desks and teams for over fifteen years. The same core skillset transcends all three sectors — which is exactly why we can move talent between them, and why we’ll extend into adjacent energy markets as we grow.
The difference a specialist makes.
There are many firms in this market. There are very few whose founder helped build it — and who bring that standard to every engagement.
Trusted by the market it serves
Our founder spent fifteen years building and mentoring much of the leadership now running this sector. Clients follow the relationship and the judgement, not the logo.
Coverage that never closes
Across Toronto, London and Hong Kong, someone is always at hand — follow-the-sun support for projects that don’t keep office hours.
On the ground when it counts
Our recruitment teams can be based on site through peak seasons — present for the delivery, not only for the pitch.
Compliance without gaps
A dedicated team collates every certification, shares it with the end client, and holds round-the-clock emergency cover as standard.
Transparent by default
Complete transparency on fees and contracts — for client and candidate alike. No surprises, on either side of the table.
From one hire to a full team
A single senior appointment or an entire onshore and offshore workforce, delivered globally as one managed, accountable engagement.
Working in clean energy means answering to it.
We work at the heart of the energy transition, so responsibility isn’t a bolt-on — it’s the industry we serve. As we grow, we’re building a considered corporate-impact programme rather than a token gesture.
Resource-conscious growth
Measuring and offsetting our own footprint — from water and energy use to the demands of a data-driven business.
Giving back to the ground
A tree-planting and restoration commitment tied to the milestones we hit, not the press releases we write.
People, first
Fair, transparent treatment of every candidate and contractor — the same standard we hold our clients to.
Your next role in energy.

Charrington is built on fifteen years spent entirely inside energy and renewables.
Across oil & gas, offshore wind and marine, our founder has built desks, led teams and shaped businesses now counted among the sector’s established names — coaching and nurturing many of the people who lead them today.
Charrington is the independent house that experience was always building toward: senior, discreet, relationship-led, and transparent by default. We begin small and deliberate, in the markets we know best, and grow with the clients who have chosen to follow.
We don’t fill vacancies. We place the people the industry’s most important projects are built on.
Build the team your next project depends on.
Whether it’s a single senior appointment or a complete offshore programme, tell us what you’re building and we’ll show you how we deliver it.
