Renewables & resources recruitment fuelling a better Australia

Australia’s energy future is being built now, and the right people will determine how fast we get there.

WHAT WE DO

We place the professionals behind Australia’s most complex renewable energy builds.

At Henton Consulting, we support employers across the energy, resources and renewables sectors, helping them secure proven professionals for critical infrastructure builds, upgrades and maintenance programs. We support EPCM contractors and project delivery partners, recruiting for mining and energy projects across construction, commissioning and operational readiness. From mineral processing facilities and pipelines to wind, solar and battery installations, we understand the environments, pressures and skills required to deliver safely and efficiently. Whether you're scaling a site team, sourcing a specialist engineer or navigating workforce demands across multiple projects, we move fast to connect you with candidates who are fit for purpose and ready to perform.

SPECIALIST EXPERTISE

Built for transition. Proven in delivery.

Specialist recruitment across renewable energy roles, aligned to project risk, program pressure and commercial performance.

WORK WITH THE EXPERTS

Where net-zero ambition meets execution.

Specialist recruitment across both traditional and renewable energy projects. From mine and processing infrastructure to utility-scale solar, wind and battery storage. Whether you need project leadership, grid specialists or shutdown crews, we help you hire people who are site-ready, commercially aligned and technically proven.

Project & Construction Management

Project Managers, Construction Managers and Site Engineers with experience across high-risk, remote delivery environments — from brownfield processing upgrades to utility-scale battery, wind and solar installations. These are leaders who understand terrain, staging, sequencing and delivery pressure.

Shutdowns, Upgrades & Commissioning

Supervisors, Commissioning Engineers and Project Engineers who work across tight windows, constrained access and interface-heavy scopes. Proven performers in shutdown programs, staged energy system upgrades and high-risk commissioning environments.

Grid & Transmission Infrastructure

High-voltage Engineers, Grid Connection Specialists and Technical Leads managing substations, switching, SCADA and integration with NEM standards. We place experts who understand the compliance, sequencing and stakeholder complexity of grid-tied projects.

Battery, Hydrogen & Emerging Tech

Engineers, Package Leads and Project Managers delivering battery storage and hydrogen infrastructure — with cross-sector experience in process, renewables and modular commissioning.

HSE, Risk & Compliance

HSE Managers, Environmental Advisors and Risk Specialists embedded in high-consequence environments. We recruit professionals who protect safety culture, manage regulator expectations and maintain zero-harm performance in both energy and resources.

Civil, Mechanical & Structural Engineering

Engineers with hands-on delivery experience across site access, heavy civils, modular construction and structural coordination. Specialists who know how to navigate buildability constraints and deliver to spec under pressure.

Asset Management & Commercial Operations

Performance Engineers, Asset Managers and Commercial Analysts focused on operational uptime, lifecycle efficiency, offtake alignment and IRR performance. We place people who speak both investor and site language

Contract & Commercial Management

Commercial Managers, Quantity Surveyors and Contract Administrators who manage scope creep, variation risk, subcontractor interfaces and cashflow pressures — without slowing project delivery.

Workforce, IR & Mobilisation

Mobilisation Officers, IR Leads, Site Admins and Workforce Planners who enable compliant workforce scale-up — across FIFO, DIDO and live site operations. These professionals manage complexity before it impacts performance.

RENEWABLES & RESOURCES RECRUITMENT

How we recruit and why it works.

High-performing talent in renewables aren’t responding to job ads. They're delivering on live projects.

We actively map the market, identify transferable skills across sectors, and engage with professionals who are open to the right move, even if they’re not looking.
