Aberdeen Energy Recruiters and Executive Search

Recruiters serving Aberdeen’s energy sector operate in Europe’s oil and gas capital, where over 80% of all UK direct oil and gas employment is concentrated in North East Scotland. The city remains the operational hub for North Sea offshore production, with Aberdeen Harbour handling around 700 offshore vessels annually and Aberdeen Airport serving as the primary heliport for offshore installations. While oil and gas activity has declined—down 10% in 2025 and 25% during peak summer months—Aberdeen’s deep offshore expertise positions it for growth in floating offshore wind, with ScotWind projects totaling 27.6GW awarded in nearby waters. The workforce’s highly transferable skills have made Aberdeen the headquarters location for Great British Energy, the UK’s new publicly owned clean energy company focused on accelerating offshore wind, carbon capture, and hydrogen development.
