Our company

We are recruitment specialists focused on one purpose: connecting the people who build, shape and operate in Digital Infrastructure and Clean Power.

Who we are

This includes talent for data centre construction, telecoms, defence, financial data, life sciences, and other mission-critical facilities in the US and Nordics. We also place professionals in project management, analytics, origination, and finance in clean power markets.

What we do

We deliver bespoke recruitment partnerships – not cookie-cutter solutions. Whether you need a permanent leadership team in Texas or Virginia, or a contract build squad in the Nordics & Europe, we design our offering around your project, team and timeline.

Our specialists work within specific verticals so you engage with consultants who know your world, speak your language and understand your challenges.

 

Why we’re different

We operate exclusively in Digital Infrastructure and Clean Power. Our consultants know the projects, the pressures, and the people that make these industries move.

Every client works differently, so we adapt – from embedded recruitment partnerships to full project delivery teams.

We speak your language – whether it’s MEP coordination on a hyperscale build, or the structure of an offtake agreement. That insight means we always find the right people.

Permanent recruitment across Texas, Virginia and the wider US; contract delivery across the Nordics and Northern & Central Europe. Regional presence with a connected, global mindset.

Our reputation is built on delivery. We move fast, communicate clearly, and stay accountable from first brief to final placement.

Our team

Our team brings a unique blend of industry experience and global mindset. From executive placements to build-team recruiting, we deliver high performance in demanding environments.

Our Story & Promise

Founded in renewable energy, Navitas has evolved into a focused recruitment partner at the intersection of energy and data infrastructure. Our growth is built on strong partnerships, technical credibility and a relentless focus on matching the right person to the right role at the right time.

We operate with integrity, transparency and a commitment to delivery. Every placement matters – for our clients, for our candidates and for the infrastructure they build.

Our Earth

We believe progress in energy and infrastructure should be responsible, not wasteful. As a business, we aim to minimise our footprint and operate with integrity – reducing unnecessary travel, digital waste and resource use wherever possible.

The Navitas Forest

Through our partnership with Ecologi, we continue to support verified environmental projects and offset our operational impact. More importantly, we work with clients and candidates who share our belief that smarter infrastructure and cleaner power are central to a sustainable future.

We're diverse and driven.

Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

We know that better infrastructure is built by diverse teams. At Navitas, we champion inclusion not as a policy, but as a performance advantage.

We actively engage with underrepresented communities, ensure balanced shortlists, and analyse team dynamics to help clients make informed, inclusive hiring decisions.

Our goal is to create opportunity – connecting talent from every background to industries shaping the world’s energy and data future.

Bespoke recruitment for energy and infrastructure.

Whether you’re building data capacity, scaling renewable portfolios, or optimising energy use, Navitas delivers flexible recruitment partnerships that perform.
