The Opportunity

We’re hiring a Principal Recruitment Consultant to join the Key Accounts team at Piper Maddox in New York.

This role focuses on owning and expanding strategic partnerships with organisations shaping the future of clean energy, delivering talent solutions into clients already partnered with LHi Group.

Rather than starting from scratch, you’ll inherit established relationships with high-growth clean energy businesses, giving you immediate access to live hiring demand across renewables, energy technology, infrastructure and sustainability.

It’s an opportunity designed for recruiters who enjoy deep client partnerships, complex hiring challenges and scaling long-term accounts.

You’ll work closely with companies driving the global energy transition, supporting projects and teams across solar, wind, energy storage, grid technology and emerging clean energy solutions.
