Connecting Clean Power to the Grid of the Future
At Mint Selection, we work with transmission network operators (TNOs) as they modernise the backbone of global electricity systems. As renewables become the dominant source of power generation, the role of transmission operators is evolving—requiring new investment, talent, and technologies to manage complexity, volatility, and decarbonisation targets.
We support TNOs across the UK, Europe, and beyond in hiring the professionals who plan, build, and optimise large-scale grid infrastructure. From integrating offshore wind to enabling interconnectors and battery systems, we help transmission businesses build future-ready teams that ensure reliability while accelerating the shift to net zero.
Whether developing new grid corridors or reinforcing ageing infrastructure, we find the people who can lead technical delivery and strategic change.
