About Daniel

With 19 years of experience covering local and international recruitment solutions, I have gained signifcant experience across New Zealands wider energy sector, with a more recent focus on the growing renewables market. I have extensive knowledge of the distribution, transmission and generation sectors and have built up a substantial network of professionals across many engineering discplines.

While my role at Phillip Riley is to lead and grow the New Zealand business, I still very much enjoy helping people and watching their career grow or change, from which I've created many long terms relationships. I have the ability to understand and interpret the differences between different company cultures and people and use this for the . This experience has been learnt from through wins and losses, successes and mistakes.

I value honesty, a direct approach and open communication in business.

I had the pleasure of working with Daniel during my recent recruitment process, and I couldn’t have asked for a better recruiter to guide me through the journey. Daniel was professional, responsive, and genuinely supportive throughout every stage of the process. He kept me informed, communicated clearly, and always took the time to answer questions and provide updates when needed. What stood out most was his ability to balance professionalism with a personal approach. He made the experience feel smooth, transparent, and positive from start to finish. I would highly recommend Daniel to both employers and candidates, and I sincerely appreciate all of his support and guidance. Thank you, Daniel, and all the best for your continued success.
