Market: Power Generation, Clean Fuels & Energy Infrastructure

Compensation: Competitive base uncapped commission (up to 50%) quarterly / half-year / full-year bonuses equity

The Opportunity

We’re hiring a Full Desk Recruiter / Technical Recruiter to join the Key Accounts team (delivery & account development) at Piper Maddox in Austin.

This role focuses on owning and expanding strategic partnerships with organizations shaping the future of Power Generation, Clean Fuels, and Energy Infrastructure, delivering talent solutions into clients already partnered with LHi Group.

Rather than starting from scratch, you’ll inherit established relationships with high-growth businesses across power generation, hydrogen, clean fuels, grid infrastructure, and industrial decarbonization, giving you immediate access to live hiring demand and long-term account growth.

This is an opportunity built for recruiters who thrive in complex markets, enjoy consultative partnerships, and want to scale strategic accounts rather than constantly chasing cold business.

You’ll work closely with organizations driving the global energy transition, supporting projects and teams across conventional generation, renewable integration, hydrogen, SAF, RNG, carbon capture, and next-generation energy solutions.
