<p>Lewis joined LSP Renewables in 2026, bringing a strong background in both construction and recruitment.</p>
<p>He began his career in construction as a labourer, working his way up through the industry before going on to run his own company. This hands-on experience gives Lewis a deep understanding of the sector from the ground up, from working on site to managing teams and delivering for clients.</p>
<p>Lewis later transitioned into construction recruitment, where he has built on this foundation to support both clients and candidates with a practical and relationship-led approach.</p>
<p>Outside of work, Lewis is a keen runner and has completed several marathons.</p>

<h2 data-path-to-node="2">Energy Storage Recruitment &amp; BESS Staffing</h2>
<p data-path-to-node="3"><br>Scaling battery energy storage systems (BESS) and hybrid grid projects requires specialized technical talent that generalist agencies frequently fail to identify. You face tight energization deadlines and complex grid code compliance requirements that demand immediate access to proven high-voltage engineers. We remove the friction from hiring by connecting you directly with pre-vetted experts who understand the difference between standalone storage and co-located renewables.</p>
<h3 data-path-to-node="4">Key Takeaways<br><br></h3>
<ul>
<li data-path-to-node="5,0,0">Rapid Mobilisation: We deploy contractors to site in 48-72 hours and deliver permanent shortlists in 7-10 working days.</li>
<li data-path-to-node="5,1,0">Full Lifecycle Support: Our coverage spans greenfield development, EPC execution, and long-term Operations &amp; Maintenance (O&amp;M).</li>
<li data-path-to-node="5,2,0">Global Reach: We recruit for projects across North America, Europe, Asia, and LATAM using a centralized talent hub.</li>
<li data-path-to-node="5,3,0">Technical Compliance: Every candidate is screened for specific competencies, including G99 approvals, high-voltage authorization, and SCADA integration.</li>
<li data-path-to-node="5,4,0">Deep Talent Pool: We maintain an active network of over 2,500 vetted BESS professionals and storage consultants.</li>
</ul>
<h2 data-path-to-node="6"><br>Global Energy Storage Capabilities</h2>
<h3 data-path-to-node="7"><br>Why is specialised BESS recruitment critical?</h3>
<p data-path-to-node="8">Specialised recruitment reduces project risk by ensuring every candidate possesses the specific regulatory knowledge required for grid synchronization. Generalist recruiters often miss critical distinctions in high-voltage safety and grid code compliance (such as G98/G99). Our sector-led consultants filter talent based on technical reality, ensuring that the engineers we supply can interpret single-line diagrams and manage charge cycle protocols from day one.</p>
<h3 data-path-to-node="10"><br>What energy storage roles do we cover?</h3>
<p data-path-to-node="11">We cover the complete technical spectrum from initial feasibility to asset management. We place professionals across three core disciplines:</p>
<ul>
<li data-path-to-node="12,0,0">Engineering &amp; Design: BESS Electrical Engineers, Control Systems Engineers, and SCADA Specialists.</li>
<li data-path-to-node="12,1,0">Execution (EPC): Project Managers, Commissioning Managers, and Electrical Design Leads.</li>
<li data-path-to-node="12,2,0">Commercial &amp; Operations: Asset Managers, Techno-Economic Analysts, and High-Voltage O&amp;M Specialists.</li>
</ul>
<p data-path-to-node="13">Our network matches skilled professionals to specific infrastructure needs, whether you are building utility-scale lithium-ion batteries or deploying flow battery pilots.</p>
<h3 data-path-to-node="14"><br>Do we support hybrid and microgrid projects?</h3>
<p data-path-to-node="15">Yes, we recruit specifically for the integration of storage with solar and wind assets. Hybrid projects require engineers who understand the interplay between generation variability and storage dispatch. We source talent experienced in off-grid microgrids and hybrid solar-wind storage, ensuring your teams can manage the technical interface between different energy assets and the wider grid.</p>
<h2 data-path-to-node="16"><br>How We Mobilise Energy Storage Talent</h2>
<p data-path-to-node="17"><br>Our recruitment process secures the specific technical skills required for your project without wasting time on irrelevant CVs.</p>
<h3 data-path-to-node="18"><br>Step 1. Technical Competency Mapping</h3>
<p data-path-to-node="18">We initiate every search by defining the exact technical and regulatory requirements of your project. We don't just ask for "engineers"; we determine if you need expertise in specific battery chemistries, high-voltage switching, or localized grid codes like G99.</p>
<h3 data-path-to-node="19">Step 2. Targeted Sourcing &amp; Compliance Vetting</h3>
<p data-path-to-node="19">We identify candidates within our network of 2,500+ professionals who match your technical criteria. We rigorously assess every candidate&rsquo;s certifications (such as ISO 9001, BS EN 61439, and safety passports) to ensure they meet site access requirements before we present them to you.</p>
<h3 data-path-to-node="20">Step 3. Rapid Shortlist Submission</h3>
<p data-path-to-node="20">We deliver a vetted shortlist of candidates who are ready to interview. For contract roles, we provide options within 48-72 hours; for permanent positions, we deliver qualified profiles within 7-10 working days.</p>
<h3 data-path-to-node="21">Step 4. Deployment &amp; Onboarding Logistics</h3>
<p data-path-to-node="21">We manage the logistical friction of getting staff to site. This includes handling contract negotiations, payroll setup, and ensuring all compliance documentation is in place so your new team members can start work immediately.</p>
<h2 data-path-to-node="22"><br>FAQs</h2>
<h3 data-path-to-node="23"><br>What energy storage technologies do you recruit for?</h3>
<p data-path-to-node="24">We support a wide range of storage technologies including lithium-ion battery storage, flow batteries, grid-scale BESS, hybrid solar-wind storage, and microgrid projects.</p>
<h3 data-path-to-node="25"><br>How quickly can you fill urgent energy storage roles?</h3>
