Energy and natural resources

Powering the future

Our Energy and Natural Resources Practice covers oil and gas, renewables and minerals & mining. It also embraces energy management, power, nuclear power, waste, metering, biofuels, energy efficiency and energy trading

Today’s focus on sustainable and renewable energy, together with new government legislation on energy management, are expanding this sector substantially.

Energy and utility corporations are now facing intense market and competitive pressures. However, successful companies are thriving in this environment and using these challenges as stepping-stones for growth. Continued industry consolidation, both in the UK and globally, requires corporations to maximise new market opportunities.

Artemis partners with the leading energy companies to attract the best middle and senior management. Our edge comes from the combination of our robust network, in-depth industry knowledge, functional expertise and a consultative approach to deliver unique solutions. 

We differentiate ourselves by forming responsive project teams. These teams align the expertise of our professionals with the needs of our clients. Our objective is to build long term committed client relationships, and we are driven by their success.

Oil and gas
The oil and gas industry is currently enjoying a period of expansion and increased exploration, with greater activity promoted by the high oil price. The UK remains a global centre for these activities, ranked the fourth largest gas producer and the tenth largest oil producer in the world. The industry is therefore vibrant at present, and we have excellent contacts with both candidates and companies.

Renewables
This remains a thriving sector thanks to the government’s commitment to this form of energy. Scotland is the main region for jobs in wind power, producing 48 per cent of the UK’s wind energy output. England however is more productive in energy generation terms thanks to its large number of biofuels projects. This type of energy use is increasing across the board, up 72 per cent from 2003 to 2006 for instance throughout the UK. Artemis is well placed in this job market.

Minerals and mining
The UK is supplying mining and minerals expertise to the rest of the world, particularly in Eastern Europe, Africa and Russia where western knowledge and experience is at a premium. We have numerous contacts in this sector and will be happy to assist any company or candidate looking for recruitment help and advice.
