Energy executive search across renewables, power, oil and gas and natural resources. Research-led shortlists in eight weeks. Established 1988.
Oryx provides energy executive search across renewables, conventional power, oil and gas, nuclear, hydrogen and the wider natural resources supply chain. The sector's leadership market is being reshaped by the transition: developers competing for the same small group of people who have taken offshore wind, solar or battery storage projects through consent, financing and into operation; utilities and networks recruiting against regulated price control periods; and resources businesses balancing production with decarbonisation commitments. We search for that experience directly, mapping developers, independent power producers, EPC contractors, network operators and investors to find project development, operations, engineering and commercial leaders. Our work in emerging energy technology includes Tokamak Energy, where the requirement was leadership capable of moving first-of-a-kind engineering towards commercial deployment. Coverage includes onshore and offshore wind, solar and battery storage, hydrogen and carbon capture, transmission and distribution networks, waste to energy and biomass, and the operations and maintenance businesses that service these assets.
