Corver Consulting

Corver Consulting is a specialist talent advisory firm headquartered in Abu Dhabi and dedicated exclusively to the clean energy sector. It works with energy organisations, developers, utilities and government entities to solve their most critical leadership talent challenges, and delivers four connected service lines. Executive search and recruitment uses a rigorous, research driven approach for C-suite, senior leadership and specialist roles, with bespoke search strategies and talent mapping, technical, leadership and competency assessment, psychometric evaluations and reference validation, and post placement support and integration. Talent management consulting covers talent strategy and workforce planning, succession planning for critical roles, data driven retention programmes and HR process optimisation. Leadership development, delivered in strategic partnership with a boutique international firm, combines 360 degree leadership assessment using the Leadership Circle Profile with personalised coaching and team effectiveness programmes. Marketing and employer branding covers employer brand strategy and EVP development, talent attraction advisory, recruitment communications and career sites, and strategic stakeholder messaging.

The firm serves eight sectors across the clean energy ecosystem: renewable energy spanning solar, wind, hydrogen and BESS; gas and power covering generation, transmission and distribution; energy infrastructure including grid, storage and smart technologies; water and desalination covering treatment, distribution and sustainability; utilities across public and private operators; sustainability and net zero including ESG, decarbonisation and climate technology; digital covering data analytics, AI and cyber; and nuclear across PWR, BWR and SMR technologies. Corver Consulting stresses that it is not a generalist firm that happens to work in energy, and that every service it delivers is informed by the sector's dynamics, compensation benchmarks and talent challenges.

The company operates across the UAE and Saudi Arabia and brings deep understanding of Middle East talent markets, cultural dynamics and regional business practices. It has over 25 years of collective industry expertise and an extensive global network. Managing Partner and Founder Dervila Mahon has more than 25 years of experience in recruitment and retained executive search across renewable energy, gas, power, utilities, energy infrastructure, technology and government, and has focused exclusively on the Middle East energy sector for the past seven years.
