Spencer Ogden: Celebrating 15 Years of Excellence. Creating Careers to Power a Sustainable Future. 

Fifteen years ago, Spencer Ogden was founded with a bold vision: to revolutionise recruitment in the energy, infrastructure, and natural resources sectors. By focusing on these sectors, Spencer Ogden aimed to bridge the talent gap and support the global transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy solutions while also serving traditional energy markets. In 2025, we proudly celebrate a decade and a half of growth, innovation, and impact. 

A Journey of Growth and Innovation 

Since our inception, we have expanded into multiple global markets, establishing ourselves as a trusted partner for businesses and professionals alike. With offices spanning across the Americas, EMEA and APAC, our reach ensures we can deliver top talent where it's needed most. Over the years we have continuously evolved, embracing new technologies and adapting to industry shifts, we are partnering with our clients as we go through the energy transition together.  

Across sectors, we have been at the forefront of connecting companies with the best talent, creating careers to power a sustainable future. 

Being the Purpose for Change Toward a Sustainable Future 

At Spencer Ogden, we believe that meaningful change starts with purpose. Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond recruitment – it’s about being a catalyst for progress. By placing the right talent in key energy and infrastructure projects, we help drive innovation and accelerate the transition to a greener future. We take pride in supporting businesses that are making a tangible impact, from advancing renewable energy solutions to building resilient and sustainable infrastructure. 

As part of powering a sustainable future our ESG pillars support us in our endeavours as we balance our commercial opportunities to support businesses leading the transition to renewable energy and infrastructure, as well as our own environmental and social responsibility. Our business aims to deliver against ambitious targets to create long-lasting social impact, support the natural environment, and uphold high ethical corporate standards. Our ESG work has been recognised through external awards.  

We recognise that people are at the core of shaping a better world, and through our expertise, we empower professionals and organisations to be part of the change. As we continue to grow, we remain dedicated to playing our role in creating a more sustainable, energy-efficient future for generations to come.  

In 2024 we recognised ‘100 Brilliant Women in Renewable Energy’ through a new annual initiative established by us to recognise and celebrate the outstanding contributions of women in the renewable energy sector. In a field historically underrepresented by women, this campaign seeks to shine a spotlight on those who are breaking barriers and leading the charge toward a more sustainable future. By honouring these extraordinary individuals, we not only acknowledge their achievements but also encourage diversity and inclusivity within the renewable energy community.
