Work with Gaia Search

We're building a team that's as passionate about the environmental and clean energy sector as the candidates we place. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

No vacancies right now — but we're growing and plan to hire. Register your interest below and we'll be in touch when something opens up.

What it's like to work here

Gaia Search is a specialist recruitment agency focused entirely on the UK's environmental consulting and clean energy sectors. We're not a generalist firm with an environmental desk — this is all we do, and we take it seriously.

We're a small, close-knit team. That means no bureaucracy, no politics and no rigid processes that get in the way of doing great work. It also means every person on the team has real ownership, real responsibility and a genuine stake in how the business grows.

We work with candidates and clients who care about the sector — ecologists, flood risk engineers, offshore wind specialists, sustainability directors — and we take pride in making introductions that genuinely move careers forward and teams forward at the same time.

Sector first

We only work in environmental and clean energy recruitment. Deep specialism is our edge — and it's what we look for in our team too.

Quality over volume

We'd rather make fewer, better placements than flood clients with unsuitable candidates. That ethos runs through everything we do.

People, not numbers

Candidates and clients trust us because we listen, don't pressure and are honest. We hire people who work the same way.

Real ownership

In a small team, everyone's contribution is visible. You'll have genuine responsibility from day one, not a two-year apprenticeship.

Long-term thinking

We're building something sustainable — not optimising for this quarter. The people we hire now will shape what Gaia Search becomes.

Honest culture

We say what we think, give real feedback and treat people like adults. No spin, no performative enthusiasm — just straightforward good work.
