BOSS Energy Consulting

Company Overview

BOSS Energy Consulting Limited

London, United Kingdom

2012

Approximately 50-200 employees (source: contactout.com). Revenue under £1 million as of accounts filed for the period ending 31 December 2023 (source: endole.co.uk).

What They Do

BOSS Energy Consulting specializes in recruitment and manpower services tailored for the renewable energy sector. The company has evolved from its initial focus on energy consulting to become a dedicated recruitment firm targeting zero-carbon and renewable energy sectors. Their services encompass a wide range of recruitment solutions, including contingent, retained, contract, executive search, and interim project manpower across various segments of the renewable energy value chain, such as solar, wind, hydrogen, and energy storage (source: contactout.com). They leverage data-driven talent sourcing with a remarkable 97% conversion rate, ensuring that clients receive the best candidates for their projects.

Projects & Track Record

As a recruitment and consulting services provider, BOSS Energy Consulting does not engage in direct project development or engineering feats, and thus, there are no specific completed projects or capacities in megawatts attributed to the company. Instead, their ongoing activities focus on fulfilling recruitment mandates and deploying manpower across various client renewable projects in sectors such as solar, wind, and hydrogen (source: boss-energy.co). The company serves a diverse range of clients, including EPCs, PMCs, and manufacturers, but does not publicly disclose specific major projects or timelines.

Recent Developments

In recent years, BOSS Energy Consulting has filed total exemption full accounts for the period from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023, confirming its micro-entity status, with submissions made by 30 September 2024 (source: endole.co). There have been no major announcements regarding new contracts, acquisitions, or funding rounds, although a charge was registered in April 2022, indicating potential short-term financing. The company also relocated its office in November 2022, which marks a significant operational change (source: find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk).

Working There

BOSS Energy Consulting primarily hires for roles in recruitment and consulting, focusing on in-house consultants who specialize in renewables, as well as graduates and experienced recruitment professionals. The company operates from its headquarters in London, with additional offices in Amsterdam and Singapore, allowing for a global reach in talent placement (source: boss-energy.co). The company culture is described as supportive, with benefits including early finishes on Fridays, lunch clubs, and a cycle-to-work scheme, alongside competitive salaries and opportunities for professional development.

A European electrolyser developer scaling from pilot to commercial deployment. Stack-level technology is proven; the next 24 months are about manufacturability, cost-down, and gigawatt-scale industrialisation. Well capitalised, with strategic and financial backers in place.

Role Overview

As VP Engineering, you will lead the engineering function through the company's industrial scale-up. You'll own the technology roadmap from current generation to next, build and develop the engineering organisation, and act as the senior technical voice in executive and investor forums.

Technology & Product Development

  • Drive the cost-down and manufacturability programme
  • Define the technical specifications for the next-generation stack
  • Coordinate with R&D, manufacturing, and supply chain on the industrialisation roadmap
  • Lead technical reviews of suppliers and partner technology

Strategic Support

  • Set engineering KPIs, milestones, and budget
  • Represent engineering in investor due diligence and technical advisory engagements
  • Support sales and commercial teams with technical credibility in customer engagements
  • Contribute to FID-stage decisions on commercial deployments

Profile

  • 15+ years in electrochemical systems or analogous hardware - fuel cells, batteries, electrolysis
  • Demonstrable record of taking a product from prototype through industrialisation
  • Experience leading multidisciplinary engineering teams of 30+ people
  • PEM, AEM, AEC, or AWE backgrounds all considered
  • Comfortable across deep technical detail and operational management at scale

Desirable Experience

  • Direct experience with first-of-a-kind commercial deployment
  • Network across European hydrogen developers and EPCs
