Project, Commercial and Technical Recruitment Across Asia Pacific
SCG Partners recruit the project leaders, commercial leaders and senior technical specialists that energy, data centre and infrastructure businesses need to deliver across Singapore and Asia Pacific. Most of the people who fit these roles are not looking for a move, so we find and approach them directly.
Who We Recruit For
We work with the organisations building energy and digital infrastructure in this region: renewable developers and independent power producers, data centre operators and developers, EPC contractors, consultancies, utilities, investors and the technology suppliers that sell into them.
Most briefs we take fall into one of three situations: a project that needs a delivery team on a fixed programme, a business entering or scaling in a new market that needs its first senior hires, or a leadership role where the quality of the shortlist matters more than speed.
If a role sits outside those markets, we will tell you in the first conversation rather than run a search we cannot do well.

What You Get From a Search
A shortlist built from a mapped market, not from whoever replied to an advert. You see who else holds the role across the region and why each candidate made the list.
An honest read of the brief. If the profile does not exist in this region at your budget, we say so before the search starts and suggest the realistic alternative.
Work pass and notice period realities raised in the first conversation, not at offer stage.
Why Specialist Recruitment Matters
The people who can lead a grid connection programme, commission a hyperscale data hall or open a new country for a renewables developer are a small group, and most of them are busy delivering. They do not respond to job boards. Reaching them depends on already knowing where they sit, which is why we work in only a few sectors.
Our Market Insights research comes out of the same work, and it is the same view of the market we give clients privately.
Our Recruitment Process
Brief
We start with the commercial context: the project, the stage it is at, the reporting line and what the person must achieve in their first year.
Map
We map who holds equivalent roles across Singapore and the wider region, including people who are not looking, and share that map with you.
Approach and Assess
We approach candidates directly and assess them on technical delivery, commercial judgement and work pass eligibility.
Shortlist to Start Date
You receive a short, reasoned shortlist. We then manage offers, counter offers, notice periods and relocation through to the first day.
Supporting Recruitment Across Asia Pacific
We recruit from Singapore into Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines in Southeast Asia, and Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and Korea in North Asia, for roles based locally and for regional roles run from Singapore.
