Substation & Protection
Substation physical and electrical design, protection & controls, relay and SCADA engineering, the core of a hardening grid.
For hiring managers & engineering leaders
Hire the power delivery engineers your projects depend on.
Ampion is a specialist utility recruiter for the US power delivery market, the engineers who design, protect and connect the traditional grid. We work a deliberately narrow patch and know it deeply, partnering with ENR Top-ranked engineering consultancies to build the teams behind a hardening, growing network.
What we recruit for
Specialist search across the power delivery disciplines.
Substations, transmission and distribution, protection & controls and the system studies behind them, not a generalist “clean energy” desk that dabbles in everything.
Transmission & Distribution
Overhead and underground transmission line design, PLS-CADD engineering, distribution, and the structural and civil work that carries the line.
System Studies & Interconnection
Power system studies, interconnection and generation studies, load flow, short circuit, and the HVDC and FACTS work behind a modern network.
Project & Engineering Leadership
Engineering Managers, Project Engineers and technical leads, the senior hires that anchor a growing power delivery team.
How we work with you
Two ways to hire. Because no two hires are the same.
Embedded
Your recruitment function, without the headcount.
On an ongoing contract, we embed as your internal talent team, owning the pipeline, the process and the candidate experience end to end. Built for scaling a team, ramping a project, or hiring across several roles at once.
- Project ramp-ups & team build-outs
- Several roles at once
- No in-house talent function
Contingent
Flexible search, on-demand talent, no strings attached.
No exclusivity and no upfront commitment, just a fast, focused search for individual, business-critical roles. The low-risk way to put us to work and see how we operate.
- One-off senior hires
- Replacing a key role
- A first project with us
Why Ampion
Partnership over placements.
Relationships that outlast job moves
We still win repeat business from clients we first signed years ago, relationships that have followed key people across multiple companies. We recruit for the long term, not the transaction.
One point of contact, start to finish
You work directly with the person running your search, not a rotating desk. No handoffs, no account you never hear from again, and a network built one relationship at a time.
Specialists in one market
Years in utility recruiting mean we understand the disciplines and how they fit together: protection and controls, substations, transmission, interconnection. Enough to take a brief properly and put the right people forward. We do not pretend to be the engineer, but we know exactly who is.
Qualified shortlists, not noise
Real market mapping and a structured grading scale sit behind every name we send. You see a shortlist worth interviewing, never a flood of hopeful CVs. Real roles only.
