Battery Energy Storage (BESS) Recruitment
Envo Talent provides battery energy storage recruitment for employers developing, delivering and operating BESS projects. We support permanent and contract hiring across electrical engineering, project management, grid connections, commissioning, operations and asset management for standalone and co-located storage.
Recruitment for your project
A BESS recruitment brief should distinguish the role's responsibilities across the battery system, electrical balance of plant, controls and network interface. Project stage, technology experience and operational accountability affect the profile required. We help employers separate essential experience from skills that can transfer from wider power and renewable energy projects.

- BESS Project Manager
- BESS Design Engineer
- Grid Connection Engineer
- HV Electrical Engineer – BESS
- Commissioning Engineer – BESS
- Technical Manager – BESS
- Asset Manager – BESS

Questions employers ask
Which battery storage roles can we discuss with Envo?
Envo Talent supports BESS recruitment across electrical design, project delivery, grid connections, commissioning, technical leadership, operations and asset management. Share the role's responsibilities and the project's stage.
Do you cover standalone and co-located battery storage?
Yes. You can discuss recruitment for standalone BESS or storage co-located with renewable generation. The brief should explain which assets and interfaces the hire will be responsible for.
Does every BESS hire need previous battery storage experience?
Not necessarily. Some appointments require specific battery system experience; others may draw on transferable power engineering, construction or operational skills. The requirements should be assessed against the actual responsibilities rather than a generic sector label.
What information helps you start a search?
Share the role, project type, location, salary or contract budget, essential experience and expected start date. Include any site access, authorisation or qualification requirements. Envo Talent can help refine the brief if the job description is still being developed.
