About Arjun
Arjun's Bio

As a Principal Recruitment Partner within Astute People's dedicated Power Generation team, I specialise in connecting leading businesses with top-tier talent across the dynamic UK power sector. Since joining Astute in 2017, I've steadily progressed through the ranks, advancing to Senior Recruitment Partner in 2020 and Principal Recruitment Partner in 2022 – a testament to my expertise in delivering exceptional recruitment solutions.

My core focus is permanent and contract recruitment for critical operations and maintenance (O&M), central engineering, and EPC roles within Energy from Waste (EfW), Biomass, Combined Heat and Power (CHP), Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT), and Open Cycle Gas Turbine (OCGT) facilities. I regularly source highly skilled professionals for positions such as:

• Plant Managers
• Operations Managers
• Engineering Managers
• Shift Team Leaders
• Shift Operations Technicians
• Maintenance Engineers
• Maintenance Technicians
• EPC roles (Project Director/Manager, Commercial roles, Quality Management, Development , Project Engineers, Process Engineers, etc)

I leverage my extensive industry understanding, coupled with a BA (Hons) in Business Management from Loughborough University and a CertRP qualification, to provide tailored support to both clients and candidates. I'm dedicated towards helping businesses secure the right talent to drive their projects forward and enabling professionals to make their next significant career move within this essential industry.

Why I love to recruit
Beyond recruitment, I'm known in the office as 'Mr Worldwide' due to often exploring the world. When I'm not exploring new destinations, you'll find me enjoying time with friends and family, catching up on a favourite TV series, or out on the golf course, always striving for that elusive round without a three-putt.

When I'm not working I like to
If its not raining you can usually catch me on the golf course or on the cricket pitch during the summer months. If you are a golf player yourself, then I will be more than happy to arrange a round as I have done this with candidates and clients before.

About Arjun Patel:

Arjun has been very professional in the way he has carried out his work on my behalf. I have had the pleasure of having Arjun represent me on two occasions, both of which have ended up up with job offers, one of which I accepted and the other I had to decline as my circumstances had changed by the time that offer came through. He is approachable and keen to help in any way he can. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field. His efforts on my behalf have been very much appreciated.
