WRS recruits renewable energy project development professionals for wind, solar, energy storage and grid projects worldwide. From early-stage development managers and consenting specialists to grid connection and land experts, we connect developers, IPPs and investors with the people who take projects from concept to financial close.
What is renewables project development recruitment?
Project development is where renewable energy projects are won or lost. Before a single turbine or panel is installed, developers need people who can secure sites, navigate permitting and consenting, model project economics and lock in grid connections. We understand the full development lifecycle and recruit at every stage, from greenfield origination through to ready-to-build handover. Our consultants speak the language of developers, which means shortlists that reflect genuine development experience rather than adjacent skill sets.
Who do we work with?
We partner with utility-scale developers, independent power producers, investment funds and consultancies across onshore wind, offshore wind, solar and battery storage. With teams in the UK, USA and Singapore operating in local time zones and languages, we support development pipelines across Europe, the Americas, Africa, the Middle East and Asia Pacific.
