About Kevin
Kevin's Bio

As Head of Power at Astute People, I spearhead specialist recruitment solutions for the ever-evolving UK power sector.

Having spent over a decade at Astute, I've advanced from a Resourcer to a senior leadership position, playing a pivotal role in project management and the delivery of multiple crewing-up projects, instrumental in providing high-value permanent and contract staffing solutions for some of the nation's most crucial energy projects.

My team and I are adept at connecting top-tier talent with opportunities spanning all areas of Power Generation.

We work hand-in-glove with EPC contractors, consultancies, and end clients, offering comprehensive recruitment support from project design and construction right through to commissioning and operations.

Our priority is ensuring businesses secure the skilled professionals they need to drive their initiatives forward successfully.

My expertise covers key energy infrastructure, including:
Power Stations
Energy from Waste (EfW) facilities
Biomass and AD Plants
Wind Farms (Onshore & Offshore)
Material Recycling Facilities
Within these areas, we regularly source talent for projects involving Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies, and various turbine setups such as Open Cycle Gas Turbines (OCGT) and Combined Cycle Gas Turbines (CCGT).

As a trusted recruitment professional with an MREC CertRP accreditation, I pride myself on a consultative approach that combines extensive industry knowledge with a proven knack for precisely matching exceptional talent to critical business requirements. I'm genuinely passionate about delivering tangible results and fostering Astute People's ongoing expansion and influence across the power and energy sectors.

About Kevin Over:

The process has been quite protracted, but Kevin has kept me well informed throughout. If unavailable at the time of a call, he always rings back within a short time. Similarly his emails are always informative and to the point. Finally, anything nor fully known was chased up in a timely manner. All of the above make Kevin a great asset for any job applicant. I would like to thank Kevin for his help with this position.
