Battery and Energy Storage Recruitment

Industry knowledge

Battery and energy storage projects are technical, capital intensive, and delivery led. Many recruiters lack hands on understanding of BESS, grid scale storage, and energy storage system design, which leads to poor hires and project risk. Our consultants work only within energy and infrastructure, with specialists who understand the full storage lifecycle, from development and grid connection through to construction, operations, and optimisation. Every candidate we present aligns with the technical and commercial needs of your project.

Access to scarce energy storage talent

Battery and energy storage professionals are in short supply and high demand. Most experienced engineers, project managers, and commercial leads do not apply to job adverts. They move through trusted networks. Through long term focus on the energy storage market, we maintain relationships with active and passive candidates across BESS, hybrids, and grid scale storage, giving clients access others cannot reach.

Speed without risk

Hiring delays can stall projects, impact financing, and slow revenue timelines. Moving too fast can create skill gaps and retention issues. We balance speed with accuracy, using structured screening and market knowledge to deliver qualified energy storage professionals quickly, without compromising fit or capability.

Global reach, local market insight

Energy storage hiring varies by region, from grid codes and permitting to labour availability and salary levels. With teams across North America, EMEA, and APAC, LVI Associates combine global coverage with local market insight. This allows us to advise accurately and deliver hires that meet regional technical, regulatory, and commercial requirements.

LVI Associates offers various workforce solutions tailored to your specific objectives.

Permanent hires

Permanent search delivered through contingent or retained recruitment. We place energy storage professionals who add long-term value across development, delivery, and operations.

Contract hires

Access experienced battery and energy storage specialists who can integrate quickly to support delivery phases, peaks in workload, or short-term project needs.

Multi-hire projects

A consultative recruitment service managing end-to-end delivery for full energy storage project teams, from initial sourcing through to onboarding.

This phase focuses on building a viable project pipeline. Developers assess grid capacity, land availability, and market pricing, then progress into interconnection studies, permitting, environmental reviews, and financial modeling. Early decisions here determine project viability and investment approval. We support this stage by placing origination managers, development analysts, grid engineers, and permitting specialists who can move projects efficiently toward notice to proceed.

Projects transition from concept to execution readiness. BESS layouts, power systems studies, and HV and MV designs are finalized. Technology selection, EPC scoping, tendering, and contract negotiation take place, along with procurement of long lead equipment. We recruit BESS engineers, electrical and power systems engineers, owner’s engineers, procurement leads, and commercial managers with direct energy storage and EPC experience.

Civil works, electrical installation, substation construction, and battery integration are delivered under tight schedules. Systems are tested, grid compliance is confirmed, and assets are energized and handed over. We support delivery with project managers, construction managers, site engineers, commissioning engineers, and grid compliance specialists experienced in grid scale BESS projects.

Once operational, focus shifts to performance, availability, compliance, and revenue optimization. Over time, owners assess augmentation, upgrades, and life extension strategies. We place operations managers, asset managers, reliability engineers, and asset strategy professionals who protect long term value and support repowering and end of life planning.
