Climate impact and emissions reduction are naturally woven throughout the strategies of our STEM clients.
We are in a privileged position to source the engineering and technology skills our clients require to both meet their own decarbonisation targets and innovate to drive towards the broader climate agenda.
Within the Renewable Energy sector, we have provided the talent to build, maintain and develop many offshore wind farms across Europe. Our Mobility sector works with major Automotive, Aerospace and Maritime brands to develop electric, hybrid and hydrogen powered vehicles. Our Infrastructure sectors partner with major consultancies and contractors to develop sustainable environments, as well as with network operators to revolutionise the smart grid.
We also increasingly source the sustainability, environmental and ESG specialisms that our clients require to govern and manage their own strategies.
During FY25 we partnered with a range of different organisations to source the STEM talent they require to contribute towards the development of a low-carbon future.

In FY24 we launched Matchtech’s Green Jobs microsite.
This enables us to track and monitor our green jobs contribution across all of our sectors, as well as promote our live jobs with a specific environmental remit.
This year we also placed a focus on green jobs within our STEM recruitment and workforce insight reporting.
