The solar industry has been a core market for Hyperion since our inception. Years ago, before the boom of solar technology, our Managing Director David Hunt and Director Ross Hoare, built and scaled a multi-award-winning solar installation business. The sector has experienced significant growth, challenges, and changes over the last decade. It remains the backbone of the clean energy transition.

Solar

Over the last 20 years, the Energy Storage and grid services industry has continued to evolve, adapt, and innovate in response to the increasing challenges of the clean energy transition, and the demands that places on the grid. It has seen many advances in technology (greater capacity, energy density, durability), and in the multiple chemistries, materials and scales and applications of solutions. This has created a massive demand to hire top talent across an array of storage and grid technologies in both hardware and software/services.

Energy Storage and Grid

The evolution of the electrification of transport and Future Mobility landscape has been significant over the last five years, driven by many factors including purchase incentives for Evs, the availability of options, massive growth in charging infrastructure and strict government policies towards the banning of ICE vehicle sales. Across hardware, software and services we have supported a myriad of VC backed start-ups to scale, as well as larger organisations developing their future mobility offerings.

EV and Future Mobility

The concept of 'Smart Cities' has gained significant importance in recent years as urban areas face increasing challenges related to population growth, resource management, and environmental sustainability. Smart cities and smart buildings leverage cutting-edge technologies such as IoT, big data analytics, artificial intelligence and a host of renewable and sustainable technologies to enhance the quality of urban living and transportation. These technologies enable more efficient management of resources, improved public services, and better connectivity, ultimately leading to a higher standard of living and sustainability. By optimizing infrastructure, clean technologies and services, smart cities can reduce energy consumption, minimize waste, and create more sustainable urban environments.

Smart Cities

We have an unmatched ability to discover and attract outstanding candidates for strategically import hires, especially C-Suite, leadership and senior roles. Our network and reach extends across Europe, North America and beyond, thanks to our deep insight into the cleantech sector. We have particular expertise in Solar, Energy Storage, Future Mobility and Smart Buildings.&nbsp;
We guide our clients through the entire hiring journey and cultivate long-term relationships that last for years.
This includes with our partners in Venture Capital and Private Equity funds active in the cleantech ecosystem.

Register with us confidentially

We&rsquo;re a client-focused search firm, but we equally value our relationships with candidates. Most professionals we engage aren&rsquo;t actively job-seeking&mdash;they&rsquo;re excelling in their current roles but may have frustrations, whether it's career growth, workplace culture, or leadership. While not actively looking, they&rsquo;re open to the right opportunity at the right time.
Unexpected changes - redundancies, relocations or shifts in work conditions - can turn 'passive' candidates 'active', and we're here to help them find the right fit.

At Hyperion, we respect every candidate’s journey. We listen to their goals, motivations, and ideal work environment, staying in touch until the perfect role arises.
The right opportunity may take a week, a month, or a year, but we’ll stay in touch, build a genuine relationship, and work with you.
Unlike many recruiters who see candidates only as a ‘fee’, we see them as people - people with their own dreams and aspirations, just as we have.
