Celebrating 10 Years of Piper Maddox

A decade of purpose, growth and impact in clean energy talent This year marks ten years of Piper Maddox, one of LHi Group’s fastest growing specialist brands, built with a clear purpose, to support the global clean energy transition and help protect the future of our planet through exceptional talent solutions.Founded in 2015 by Alex Cohen under the LHi Group, Piper Maddox was created with a belief that recruitment could be more than a commercial service, it could be a platform for positive change. From the outset, the brand committed fully to renewable energy and cleantech, stepping away from fossil fuels entirely and aligning its growth with the industries actively decarbonising the world. Over the past decade, Piper Maddox has become a trusted partner to some of the world’s most innovative clean energy organisations across the US and Europe, helping them build the teams shaping how energy is generated, stored and consumed.

At its core, Piper Maddox is driven by the belief that recruitment can be a force for good, contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable future, one hire, one partnership and one business at a time. From Vision to Global Brand As the energy sector began shifting towards renewables, it became clear that traditional recruitment models were struggling to keep pace with the urgency of change. The clean energy transition demanded specialist knowledge, speed and long-term thinking, not legacy approaches. Recognising this opportunity, Alex Cohen and LHi Group Founder, Tom Glanfield aligned on a shared ambition to build a recruitment brand dedicated entirely to clean energy and sustainability. Combining entrepreneurial platform, leadership and a strong cultural foundation, Piper Maddox was born as a values-led business designed to create long-term impact. From those early beginnings, the brand has expanded rapidly across Europe and North America, building leadership teams united by a shared purpose to accelerate the energy transition and support companies working to decarbonise the planet. “The success of Piper Maddox reflects what’s possible when purpose, people and platform align.

Piper Maddox are partnered with a leading transmission lines IPP developing and owning some of the largest transmission projects in the U.S. With a growing portfolio of large-scale, 300–400+ mile high-voltage transmission projects, including HVDC, they are entering an exciting phase of growth and are looking to bring on a Senior Manager / Director of Engineering to help lead the engineering strategy and execution of these projects.

 

The projects are highly complex and relatively rare in the U.S., giving this hire the opportunity to work on some of the most significant transmission infrastructure being developed today. Joining at an early stage of the business's growth, this person will wear multiple hats, work closely with leading external engineering consultants and technology providers, and have significant influence over how projects are engineered and ultimately delivered.

 

Key Responsibilities include:

  • Lead engineering and design activities for major transmission line projects, supporting projects from development through construction and delivery.
  • Take ownership of projects from approximately 10% design, with the potential to join projects already progressing through 30–60% design.
  • Lead the planning of engineering activities, including technical scope, budgets, schedules, and overall design strategy.
  • Manage and oversee external engineering consultants across 1–3 major transmission projects, ensuring design work is timely, cost-effective, technically robust, and aligned with project requirements.
  • Review detailed design packages, engineering studies, and technical deliverables to ensure compliance with permitting, land, customer, financing, and construction requirements.
  • Coordinate closely with internal development, construction, commercial, permitting, land, and other project stakeholders to identify and mitigate engineering risks.
  • Oversee key transmission engineering scopes including structure engineering and testing, geotechnical investigations, utility crossings, encroachments, and other route-related design considerations.
  • Support technical due diligence, fatal flaw analysis, early-stage development opportunities, and potential acquisitions.
  • Participate in field visits and stakeholder discussions to evaluate route suitability, constructability, and technical considerations.
  • Develop and manage engineering RFPs, consultant contracts, MSAs, and service orders while maintaining strong relationships with external engineering partners.
  • Stay at the forefront of developments in high-voltage transmission and HVDC technology, bringing new capabilities, lessons learned, and best practices into the organization.

 

With the backing and growth trajectory to develop some of the largest and most complex transmission infrastructure projects in the country, this is a chance to join a lean, entrepreneurial platform where an engineering leader can have significant influence over both project execution and the direction of the business.

 

The opportunity offers the chance to work alongside some of the industry's leading engineering consultants and technology providers while helping shape projects from early development through construction and delivery.
