Executive Search Services for Energy Efficiency.

Specialist partner-led recruitment for leadership roles in decarbonisation and energy optimisation.

Specialist Talent Acquisition for the Energy Efficiency Sector.

Efficiency is the hidden engine of Net Zero. Whether it's through smart buildings, AI-driven demand response, energy-as-a-service models, or retrofitting infrastructure, energy efficiency plays a critical role in reducing emissions at scale.

At Net Zero Search, we work with the funds, platforms, and solution providers leading the charge in energy optimisation. We place senior leaders who understand the commercial, regulatory, and technical levers needed to turn megawatts saved into measurable value.

We deliver executive search solutions that connect our clients to the people driving innovation and operational performance in energy efficiency across built environment, utilities, and industrial sectors.

We support a global client base across the Energy Efficiency landscape.

Who We Work With.

  • Private Equity and Infrastructure Funds investing in platforms delivering energy savings, decarbonisation and retrofitting at scale

  • Venture Capital firms backing software and sensor-driven energy intelligence platforms

  • Energy Services Companies (ESCOs) and Smart Building Operators hiring across commercial and operations

  • HVAC, insulation and energy retrofit specialists expanding senior leadership teams

  • SaaS and AI-enabled platforms delivering data-driven efficiency in real estate, industrials, and transport

We specialise in leadership recruitment for companies driving cost savings, carbon reductions, and scalable decarbonisation, from asset-light SaaS startups to full-service energy services businesses.

You’re not hiring a logo. You’re hiring outcomes. So ask yourself: is your current search partner actually delivering value? Or are they just a big name you use to cover yourself when the hire underdelivers?

Don’t Overpay for Mediocrity. Traditional search firms aren’t built for Energy Efficiency Hiring.

Traditional Search Firms:

  • Charge 30–50% of total comp

  • Start every search from zero

  • Hand off delivery to junior researchers

  • Limited by restrictive hands-off agreements

Ready to Raise the Bar on Energy Efficiency Talent?

We don’t follow the rules of traditional executive search because they don’t work for energy optimisation, decarbonisation, or the fast-growing efficiency market.

At Net Zero Search, we deliver fast, sector-led, and outcome-driven hiring solutions that are built around your goals, not ours.

If you’re serious about scaling high-impact leadership in energy efficiency, we offer:

  • Direct access to the best-connected talent network in the energy transition

  • Searches delivered by actual experts, not researchers

  • Flexible, long-term pricing models that save you six figures and deliver real ROI

We are the go-to executive search partner for energy efficiency, trusted by investors and operators creating smarter, cleaner energy systems.
