Our discipline-specific recruiters support businesses by finding qualified staff at short notice to maintain and support successful project execution. We support comapnies across traditional power generation, renewables and alternative energies, electrification and transmission and distribution, from supplying personnel to run and maintain greenfield new construction projects, to providing qualified professionals to support planned and emergent outages.
Recruitment for specialized Power divisions
Our recruitment teams are split into three dedicated divisions to optimize our delivery within each sector, and to provide real value to our clients by staying close to their markets.
This team focus on the technical engineering and construction skillsets related to the oversight of greenfield and brownfield projects. The team source experienced personnel in:
- Engineering and Design (including Gas Turbine Engineers, Substation Engineers and I&C Designers)

- Construction Site Supervision (Construction Managers, Superintendents, Safety Oversight, Commissioning)
- Operations and Maintenance (Control Room Operators, Auxiliary Operators)
This team provides qualified skilled trades personnel to execute on-site based scopes of work that support new construction and outage projects. Our project portfolio includes domestic and international scopes of work, and we have a full local travel team in place to facilitate getting the national and overseas expertise to site. Skilled trades has been the core focus of the Orlando office since its inception, meaning we’ve spent 20 years building a qualified supply chain of generator winders, bladers and turbine technicians, machinists and millwrights for companies’ outage projects. We’ve also placed countless electricians, electrical testers, wind and solar technicians onto power generation and electrification projects.
This is our fastest growing business unit and supports US-based warranty and repair work undertaken at fabrication shop locations across North America. Our recruitment team has built a dedicated candidate network of welders, assemblers, electricians, turbine technicians, millwrights and mechanical specialists. As the demand for US manufacturing skills continues to grow to support wider supply chains, NES Fircroft is perfectly positioned to provide an aligned recruitment solution for any shop needing flexible support.
