Ampion Global Consulting

Ampion Global Consulting is a specialist search firm founded by Charles Kurth, a recruiter with six years of experience across the UK and US energy engineering markets. The company places power delivery engineers across substation, transmission and distribution, protection and controls, and system studies roles with US utilities and ENR Top-ranked engineering consultancies. Ampion provides senior attention throughout the entire recruitment process, whether clients need to recruit a single substation engineer, build out a transmission and distribution team, or require ongoing power delivery recruitment support.

The company specialises in four core areas of power engineering recruitment. Substation and protection engineering encompasses substation physical and electrical design, protection and controls, relay and SCADA engineering. Transmission and distribution recruitment covers overhead and underground transmission line design, PLS-CADD, distribution, structural and civil engineering roles. System studies and interconnection specialisation includes power system studies, interconnection and generation studies, load flow, short circuit, HVDC and FACTS expertise. Ampion also recruits for project and engineering leadership positions, including Engineering Managers, Project Engineers and technical leads across the power sector.

Ampion Global Consulting operates across the United States, coast to coast, serving utilities and engineering consultancies nationwide. The company differentiates itself through deep specialisation in one market, delivering qualified shortlists rather than volume, and building relationships that extend beyond individual job placements. Ampion works through two engagement models: embedded recruitment, where the team functions as an internal talent department for team build-outs and multi-role hiring, and contingent search for flexible, no-exclusivity recruitment of individual, business-critical roles. Clients choose Ampion for proven expertise, qualified candidate networks, and genuine partnership approach to talent acquisition.
