Kelsey's Bio

I am a dedicated Power Generation Recruiter specialising in permanent placements across the UK’s evolving energy sector. With a strong focus on key technologies such as Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT), Biomass, Energy from Waste (EfW), and Combined Heat & Power (CHP), I connect top talent with leading employers driving the transition to cleaner, more sustainable power generation.

My expertise spans recruiting for critical roles including:
Project Managers & Project Engineers
Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Technicians
Electrical & Mechanical Engineers
Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE) Specialists
Control & Instrumentation (C&I) Engineers
Plant Managers & Senior Leadership Roles

I pride myself on delivering tailored recruitment solutions that meet the specific needs of both clients and candidates, ensuring the right fit for complex technical and operational roles within the power generation industry.

Rated 4.75★ on Great Recruiters, with 96% highly recommended, I am committed to professionalism, integrity, and a consultative approach that helps organisations grow and candidates thrive in this dynamic sector.

Originally from South Africa, I moved to England in 2008. I pursued my studies in Interior Design and Architecture at Falmouth University. My career journey began in the estate agency field, where I spent 3 years. During this time, I discovered my passion for building long-lasting professional relationships with clients.

About Kelsey Bakovljev:

Having had limited contact with recruiters before I was pleasantly surprised how engaging Kelsey has been. After registering me with Astute she very quickly had an opportunity for me where I could be a good fit. Though it has been a fairly fast process so far I have been kept up to date and provided guidance throughout.
