Utilities organisations are balancing ageing assets, network resilience, digital transformation and the transition to a more sustainable energy system. Rullion provides specialist recruitment and workforce solutions across water, gas and regulated infrastructure, helping organisations access the skills they need now while building stronger workforces for the future.
Utilities is a broad, highly regulated market, with water, wastewater and gas networks facing distinct investment, operational and workforce requirements. Explore how our specialist teams support each area.
From nuclear new build to national energy programmes, we partner with organisations like EDF and E.ON to build the workforces their projects depend on - find out how.
Water and gas organisations need to balance investment and transformation with the day-to-day responsibility of keeping essential networks operating safely and reliably. Our workforce solutions for utilities support that challenge across regulated investment, field delivery, specialist capability and contingent workforce management.
We align workforce planning to long-term regulated investment cycles, from AMP8 across water to RIIO-3 across gas networks, helping organisations anticipate demand and build engineering, commercial and delivery capability across each programme phase.
Major utilities programmes often require technical, operational and field-based teams across multiple sites and regions. We support recruitment, onboarding, background screening and workforce mobilisation while helping organisations maintain continuity across essential services.
Utilities workforces span network and asset engineering, civil and electrical disciplines, commissioning, field operations and safety-critical roles, alongside project controls, commercial, data, cybersecurity, ERP and transformation capability. Our utilities recruitment networks extend across these disciplines and into adjacent infrastructure sectors, helping clients access established expertise and transferable skills rather than relying on a narrow talent pool.
Through MSP, supplier management and contingent workforce solutions, we help organisations coordinate complex contractor populations, establish consistent processes and adapt workforce supply as programme requirements change.
Workforce reporting and technology platforms such as SAP Fieldglass provide greater oversight of suppliers, vacancies, contractors, performance and spend, helping utilities organisations strengthen governance and make more informed workforce decisions.
Whether you're resourcing a project or looking for your next role, our consultants specialise by discipline - so you're speaking to someone who understands the standards your sector runs on. Explore the five areas below.

The project, procurement and business functions that turn complex delivery into a running operation - planned, resourced and kept on track.
From AI and cloud infrastructure to cybersecurity, we place the technology talent that shapes how critical industries run and defend themselves.
Our workforce solutions are structured around four core capabilities, each designed to meet the compliance and scale demands of critical infrastructure. Whether the requirement is a single specialist hire or a fully outsourced recruitment process, we build the solution around the standard your sector operates to.
We recruit across water, gas and wider utilities infrastructure, including network and asset engineers, civil and electrical engineers, commissioning specialists, field operations teams, programme and project managers, project controls and commercial professionals, data specialists and digital transformation roles.
AMP8 is the current five-year investment cycle for regulated water companies in England and Wales, running from 2025 to 2030. It is driving major programmes across infrastructure, resilience, environmental performance and digital transformation, increasing workforce demand across engineering, project delivery, commercial and operational disciplines.
RIIO-3 is the next regulatory price-control period shaping investment across UK gas transmission and distribution networks. Priorities around network resilience, asset renewal and preparation for the evolving energy system are creating workforce requirements across engineering, commissioning, field operations, project delivery and commercial disciplines.
Rullion combines experience across regulated, asset-intensive environments with long-standing workforce delivery capability. That gives clients access to established specialist networks and an understanding of the governance, operational continuity and programme pressures that shape utilities. We support requirements beyond individual recruitment through workforce planning, MSP, RPO and contingent workforce management.
