Anesco (Solar Energy)

During the 2H of 2022, Anesco went through a period of considerable growth to meet our pipeline of opportunities. We chose to partner with Orion Group as we recognised their specialist knowledge of the technical roles we were looking to place. The partnership provided us the opportunity for jointly branded advertising, far reaching audiences and, a dedicated recruitment page within Orion Group which called upon on their reputation and expertise within our markets. Regular meetings, coupled with an on-site presence from Orion's appointed recruitment team provided open communication and collaboration that resulted in a flexible and fit for purpose resourcing strategy that worked.

44.01 (Carbon Mineralisation)

We have been working with Orion for two months to find talented, committed people for our project in Fujairah, UAE. Orion very quickly understood our requirements and company culture. They presented us with exceptional candidates who possessed impressive skills but also a strong alignment with our organisational values. The hiring process was very efficient, and we filled crucial roles quickly. We would recommend Orion and would work with them again.

​“Orion Group was my agency during my assignment as Topsides Fabrication Package Manger on a £2.5bn offshore wind project in the North Sea. From the beginning, they provided a best-in-class service. The team were quick to deal with any queries and their established processes meant I was ableto focus on my project, rather than worrying about the smaller details. I would have no hesitation recommending them as an agency of choice for the renewable sector.”Contractor at PD&MS
