As a Senior Talent Specialist in the renewables sector, I focus on permanent hires across wind, solar, and biogas. I partner with forward-thinking developers, OEMs, and asset owners to place skilled professionals who make a real impact — from Service Technicians and Engineers to Site Managers and Project Leads.

With a background in technical recruitment and a genuine passion for the sector, I prioritise clear communication and building lasting, meaningful relationships with both candidates and clients to deliver results.

I'm Lucy Pook, a Senior Recruitment Partner at Astute People, dedicated to contract recruitment within the vital Energy from Waste (EfW) sector and the broader Power Generation industry.

Since joining Astute in 2023, I've specialised in delivering expert recruitment solutions for a diverse range of contract roles essential to the success of new build and operational EfW facilities.

My focus lies in sourcing highly skilled HSE Specialists, experienced Project Managers, and effective Site Managers for leading businesses across the EfW landscape. I understand the critical demand for talent that drives efficiency, safety, and successful project delivery in this rapidly evolving sector.

With a strong foundation in recruitment across various industries, including construction, I bring a comprehensive understanding of client needs and a proven ability to match exceptional talent with the right contract opportunities. My expertise ensures that organisations secure the best contract professionals to meet their project milestones and operational objectives within EfW and Power Generation.

I truly love helping people, building strong relationships, and growing within the staffing industry. Supporting others in finding the right opportunities and creating meaningful connections is what motivates me every day.

I was introduced into the "Recruiting world" roughly 10 years ago. I had attended a warehouse open house hiring event as an applicant and ended up an internal employee. I was helping candidates with their paper applications and the Branch Manager was working the event by herself and appreciated me helping her with everything. It wasn't expected, but every since then I have been able to perfect my craft. I have about 7 years of staffing experience in many different areas such as: direct hires, daily labor, construction, IT, industrial, manufacturing, healthcare, and customer service positions. I am currently in my junior year at University of West Georgia for my Business Management Degree. I love to play lacrosse with my daughters and just being active in sports. I have been playing lacrosse since I was 8 years old and even got a scholarship for college. Now, it is a sport I would love to past down to my girls and watch them play from the stands. I have a desire to help people get to the next level and achieve goals.

I'm a former middle school math teacher who transitioned into technical recruiting in 2022. I love the challenge of connecting talented individuals to positions that are a perfect fit! Plus, I get to keep using skills I acquired during my teaching years such as communication, problem solving, organization, and interpersonal relations. While I miss interacting with my students, I'm excited to use my skills in a new way! As a technical recruiter, I'm driven to support a company's vision and positively impact its success through expertly crafted recruitment efforts. I'm also excited to play a part in helping today's professionals reach their full potential. 🤓

I am an experienced recruitment consultant with nine years experience in the industry, delivering an excellent service to both candidates and clients alike. I joined Astute Technical Recruitment as a Team Leader within the Customer Success Team in 2022 and have since been promoted to Customer Success Team Manager last year. I am passionate about delivering client solutions and candidates to our sectors.
