Founded in 2014, Hyperion is a specialist global search firm with over a decade of experience in renewable energy and cleantech. From our founder David Hunt’s roots in building a multi-award-winning solar installation business, we’ve grown into pioneers in clean energy hiring - partnering with clients across wind, solar, battery storage, hydrogen and grid-edge technologies to connect them with the leadership talent that drives cleantech forward.
We deliver exceptional talent across the full renewable energy value chain - supporting organisations at every stage of growth. Our expertise spans executive leadership, board-level appointments, and high-impact technical roles, enabling us to build teams that not only understand the technologies driving the energy transition but can lead, scale and futureproof them.
As the global shift to renewable energy accelerates, so too does the demand for outstanding talent to lead and deliver it. From solar PV and onshore wind to utility-scale storage, green hydrogen, and power-to-X, the transition is creating both unprecedented opportunities and complex hiring challenges. As the sector diversifies and matures, organisations increasingly seek not just technical capability but strategic leadership to scale innovation, navigate evolving policy landscapes, and drive commercial success.
At Hyperion, we partner with clients across the renewables value chain to identify, attract, and secure the leaders shaping a cleaner, smarter, and more resilient energy future.
Our Renewables team is headed by Nikita Miah, Director
Nikita leads Hyperion’s Renewables practice, specialising in delivering strategic leadership hires for global organisations driving the energy transition. With over seven years of executive search and recruitment experience across the European and US Wind, Solar, and Battery Energy Storage sectors, she has a strong track record of partnering with Developers, IPPs, OEMs, Venture Capital, and Private Equity firms to place high-impact talent across Project Development, Commercial, Operational and Technical functions.
Known for a consultative, relationship-led approach, Nikita has built a deep international network over the years. Passionate about sustainability and the clean energy movement, she brings strong sector expertise and insight that supports clients in building the teams that power a greener future.
At Hyperion Search many of our searches are ‘under the radar’, especially executive and strategically important hires. However we do publish many live mandates which you can access and apply to below.
Ross 'cold' approached me and 2 months later I was in a new role as VP WW Sales at a scale-up company, that I absolutely love!
I wasn't actively looking for a new role and didn't know I was open to even look until Ross contacted me. This alone should be a testament to how good Ross is at connecting the right talent and employers together. Ross is well-researched with a consultative approach to provide great initial 'matchmaking', followed by an ability to create the right environment for exploratory conversations to blossom.
I enjoyed working with Ross through my recent recruitment process. My advice, if Ross contacts you, it is well worth a discussion, he may have something of significant interest!
