Haines Christo

Haines Christo is Australia's specialist recruitment agency focused exclusively on renewable energy and construction sectors. Based in Subiaco, Perth, the firm operates nationally, specialising in utility-scale solar, battery storage systems, wind (onshore and offshore), hydrogen, and construction and infrastructure projects. Unlike generalist agencies, Haines Christo commits entirely to renewable energy and construction, working with engineers, project managers, site supervisors, and commercial specialists who understand these industries.

The company emphasises sector specialisation over dabbling, claiming that depth in renewable energy and construction enables faster shortlisting and better candidate-employer fit. Matt, the principal contact, combines deep industry experience with direct experience in these sectors. The firm values relationships and honest conversations over transactional interactions, describing its approach as relationship-focused rather than transaction-focused. Candidates are told upfront what roles entail, including both positive and challenging aspects, before interview processes begin.

Haines Christo places talent across utility-scale solar farms, battery energy storage systems (BESS), wind farms, hydrogen projects, and civil, commercial, and industrial construction throughout Australia. The company builds long-term networks and maintains a no-nonsense approach to candidate and employer matching.
