About Granite Recruitment Established in 2004, Granite Recruitment is a specialist agency supporting the Energy and Infrastructure sectors across the UK. As part of our continued national growth, we are launching a new Glasgow office and seeking a high‑calibre recruitment leader to build, shape, and scale this location from the ground up. The Energy and Infrastructure sector is undergoing exceptional expansion. Engineering‑related roles are forecast to grow significantly, with priority sectors such as clean energy, defence, digital and infrastructure expected to create 834,000 additional engineering jobs over the next five years. Clean energy workforce demand alone is expected to rise by up to 400,000 additional jobs by 2030, driven by large‑scale investment and transformation across the UK’s energy system.
