How Executive Headhunters Find Senior Energy Talent with Andy Jenkins | Energy Sector Heroes
<p><strong>Finding Your Next Role in Energy: What Executive Headhunters Really Look For</strong></p><p>Whether you're actively looking for your next role, thinking about a career move, or simply wanting to understand how senior hiring really works, this episode is packed with practical advice. Many people spend hours applying for jobs online without knowing what actually happens behind the scenes. In this conversation, I speak with executive headhunter Andy Jenkins about how recruiters search for senior talent, how AI is changing recruitment, and what candidates can do to improve their chances of standing out.</p><p>Andy shares his perspective after almost three decades in executive search, including his experience recruiting senior leaders across the global energy sector. We discuss everything from LinkedIn profiles and CVs to networking, graduate careers and why human connections still matter in an increasingly AI-driven hiring process.</p><p><strong>🎯 Three key takeaways</strong></p><p>🔹 <strong>Executive recruitment is different from traditional recruitment.</strong></p><p> Many senior opportunities are never openly advertised. Headhunters often approach people directly, making industry relationships and visibility increasingly important.</p><p>🔹 <strong>AI is changing recruitment, but it hasn't replaced people.</strong></p><p> Recruiters are using AI to save time, while candidates are using it to tailor applications. Despite this, genuine conversations and personal networking remain some of the strongest ways to build opportunities.</p><p>🔹 <strong>The energy sector continues to create opportunities in new areas.</strong></p><p> From carbon capture to data centres and the wider energy transition, engineers and experienced professionals have transferable skills that can open doors across multiple industries.</p><p><strong>✅ Three actionable takeaways</strong></p><p>💡 Review your LinkedIn profile and make sure it clearly reflects your specialist experience, achievements and the type of opportunities you want recruiters to find you for.</p><p>💡 Tailor your CV for each application rather than relying on one generic version. Highlight the experience that directly matches the role you're applying for.</p><p>💡 Don't rely solely on online applications. Reach out to hiring managers, attend industry events, and continue building your professional network through real conversations.</p>

Managing Stress in the Energy Sector | Steve Beedie on Offshore Life & Mental Health
<p>If you work in the energy sector, you'll know that technical challenges are only part of the job. Long rotations, uncertainty, redundancy, changing markets and time away from family can all add pressure that isn't always easy to talk about. In this episode, I speak with Steve Beedie, an offshore veteran, author and speaker who now helps people across the energy industry manage stress in practical, everyday ways.</p><p>Drawing on his own experiences in the armed forces, offshore drilling and personal challenges, Steve explains why stress isn't something to ignore, why conversations matter, and how small changes in the way we support ourselves and others can make a real difference.</p><h3>🔑 Three key takeaways</h3><p>🔹 <strong>Stress doesn't disappear on its own.</strong> Learning to recognise pressure early and finding healthy ways to release it can stop it building into something much harder to manage.</p><p>🔹 <strong>You don't need to fix someone to help them.</strong> Sometimes the most valuable thing you can do is listen without judgement and give someone the space to talk.</p><p>🔹 <strong>Difficult experiences can become valuable lessons.</strong> Steve shares how reflecting on setbacks helped him develop a different perspective, allowing him to support others facing similar challenges.</p><h3>✅ Three actionable takeaways</h3><p>🛠️ Take a few minutes each week to check in with yourself and ask honestly how you're coping before stress starts affecting your work or home life.</p><p>🛠️ If someone tells you they're struggling, resist the urge to immediately solve the problem. Listen first and ask what they need from you.</p><p>🛠️ Build one healthy habit that helps you manage pressure, whether that's exercise, reducing alcohol, spending time with family or simply talking with someone you trust.</p><p>If you've ever felt the pressures that come with working in energy, this conversation is a reminder that looking after your wellbeing is just as important as looking after the job.</p><p>Enjoy the episode!</p>

Networking, AI and Engineering Careers | Ryan Menzies on Energy Sector Heroes
<p>If you're starting your career in energy, looking for your next opportunity, or wondering how to stand out in a competitive market, this episode is for you.</p><p>I sat down with Ryan Menzies, Founder and Director of Apollo, to discuss what engineering consultancies are really looking for, why attitude often matters more than experience, and how graduates and early-career professionals can build long-term careers in an industry that's going through significant change.</p><p>We also talk about networking, career development, AI, the value of curiosity, and why the current slowdown shouldn't stop people from believing in the future of the energy sector.</p><h2>💬 In this episode we discuss:</h2><ul><li>⚡ Ryan's journey from aerospace engineering into the energy industry.</li><li>👷 Why curiosity and attitude often matter more than a perfect CV.</li><li>🤝 How networking can create opportunities that never appear on job boards.</li><li>🏢 The differences between starting your career with a large organisation versus an SME.</li><li>📈 What Apollo looks for when recruiting graduates.</li><li>🤖 How AI and automation are changing engineering rather than replacing engineers.</li><li>🌍 Why transferable skills are becoming increasingly valuable across oil & gas, hydrogen, offshore wind and other emerging energy sectors.</li><li>📊 The challenges facing today's graduates—and why Ryan remains positive about the industry's future.</li></ul><br/><h2>🔑 Three key takeaways</h2><p>✅ <strong>Attitude creates opportunities.</strong> Technical skills matter, but curiosity, willingness to learn and helping others often leave the strongest impression.</p><p>✅ <strong>Build your network early.</strong> Meeting people, attending industry events and getting involved with professional institutions can open doors long before vacancies are advertised.</p><p>✅ <strong>Don't let today's market define your future.</strong> The energy industry continues to evolve, and the skills you develop now can transfer across multiple sectors throughout your career.</p><h2>🚀 Three actionable takeaways</h2><p>🔹 Attend one industry event or professional institution meeting this month and introduce yourself to at least three new people.</p><p>🔹 Review your CV and LinkedIn profile to highlight examples of curiosity, initiative and problem-solving—not just technical achievements.</p><p>🔹 Before your next interview, prepare two or three examples that demonstrate how you've gone beyond what's expected, whether through university projects, work experience or volunteering.</p><p>Thanks for listening to Energy Sector Heroes.</p><p>If you enjoyed this episode, I'd really appreciate it if you subscribed, left a review, and shared it with someone who is building a career in the energy industry. Every share helps more people discover the conversations we're having.</p><p>Mentioned in this episode:</p><p><strong>Granola AI</strong></p><p>Head to go.granola.ai/michelle for a full one‑month trial of Granola. </p>
