Chesapeake

Chesapeake Professional Development Group is a boutique firm specialising in supporting utility projects, niche engineering roles and information technology staffing. The company is woman-owned and military spouse-owned, operating with a focus on technical talent needs in highly specialised fields. Chesapeake recruits contract and permanent engineering consultants across areas including electrical power engineering, instrumentation and controls, and nuclear test engineering, with specific expertise serving 10-year and longer utility projects. The firm advertises roles for Electrical Power Engineers, Instrumentation and Controls Engineers and Nuclear Test Engineers, each requiring 10 or more years of experience in specialised areas such as nuclear power industry operations.

Chesapeake's areas of expertise span engineering, utilities, information technology, government and military contracting and cyber security, alongside legal professional recruitment. The company offers multiple engagement models including professional staff augmentation, contingent labour, contract-to-hire arrangements and direct placement services. This flexible approach allows clients to structure engagements according to their project needs, whether seeking temporary technical support for defined projects or permanent additions to internal teams.

The firm recognises that each project is unique and invites prospective clients to describe their specific requirements for customised solutions. Chesapeake's specialisation in utility and government sector technical roles reflects deep expertise in highly regulated industries where experience, certification and security clearance requirements are paramount. The company's military spouse ownership and woman-owned status demonstrate commitment to diverse staffing perspectives within traditionally male-dominated engineering fields.
