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

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.

I have always been a little shy and nervous previously in interviews, but with the help, support and knowledge Kelsey offered I was able to prepare myself for an interview and have now been invited back for a second stage interview. I am very grateful to have Kelsey working with me and look forward to seeing out the rest of this process with her support.
