Power Distribution & Electrical Infrastructure.

HV, MV and LV engineering. Substations. Grid connections. Utility-scale power. The talent that keeps America's critical infrastructure running and the specialism the U.S. market needs most urgently right now.

Power is the bottleneck. Talent shortage makes it worse

Every data center project in the United States depends on one thing before anything else - power. Grid connection delays now routinely stretch to 4–5 years. The U.S. electricity grid is under pressure from AI compute demand that is doubling data center energy consumption faster than infrastructure can keep pace. This has created an acute shortage of the one specialism the market needs most, electrical and power distribution professionals with genuine HV, MV and LV experience. Substation engineers, grid connection managers, protection and control specialists, and HV commissioning engineers are among the hardest people to find in the entire construction sector. IGL recruits specifically for this gap. Our consultants understand the technical language, the project environments and the career profiles of power distribution professionals. We go direct to market on every search, and we find people others can't.

Telecommunications into Data Centers

Fiber infrastructure, structured cabling, distributed antenna systems (DAS), outside plant (OSP) engineering and low voltage systems are no longer peripheral, they are critical path on every hyperscale and colocation build. The crossover between telecommunications and data center construction is one of the fastest-growing and most undersupplied specialisms in the sector. Professionals with genuine experience in fiber design, OSP, structured cabling management and low voltage coordination for mission critical environments are in extraordinary demand. IGL recruits specifically in this space. We understand the difference between a structured cabling project manager who has worked in commercial construction and one who has delivered on a 100MW+ hyperscale campus. We source the latter.
